  1930s, 20 percent club, Barbara Stanwyck in fur, black fox, crystal fox, ermine, fur coat, fur muff, fur stole, fur wrap, furs in film, lynx, mink, silver fox, white fox

  Time to kick off the New Year with something I’ll not be able to outdo: the best fur fashion film of all time: The Mad Miss Manton. I was wavering on that opinion because I hadn’t really seen it in a while, but now that I’ve dug through almost every frame with a glistening guard…

  Film subjects of this blog have tended towards a few specific periods. It is not my fault fashion does not stand still, and that doesn’t mean there aren’t promising signs as we slog through a nearly 20-year drought in fine on-screen fur fashions. We have Tyler Perry to thank for this modest little reminder, which…

  I know what you’re thinking… I like the Lone Wolf, but what do you have in an ornithologically themed gentleman detective? Well, you are in luck. Today we have the films of a gentleman (and his brother) called The Falcon. Michael Arlen created The Falcon in a short story in Town and Country and was…

  While the Thin Man series of films are ripe for inclusion on this site, the “gentleman detective” genre was certainly not the lone province of William Powell and crew. The Lone Wolf was another. The Lone Wolf is a jewel thief named Mike Lanyard, featured in upwards of 20 pictures, a lot more than Nick…

  1940s, Betty Grable in fur, black fox, feathers, fur stole, fur trim, furs in film, gray fox, mink, white fox

  Films show up here for two reasons, what I’ve come to call “1 Epic Fur” or “Fur Overload.” 1 Epic Fur is pretty obvious, that’s The Great Bank Hoax from last week, or the poster child of the entire “genre” The Awful Truth. Fur Overload is the Roberta’s of film, a bunch of good stuff…

  Going from famous, Oscar-winning films to something a bit more out-of-the-way. Like today, there was no shortage of cinematically pedestrian movies produced in the ’30s. The studio system churned out film after film, and not all of them were destined for greatness, a fact the studios were well aware of. Fortunately, even these films were…

  Like ships passing in the night, SoapNet’s programming schedule and my best days of capping were not destined to meet up at the appropriate time. Those early days permeated with 80’s nighttime soaps did help hone my skills. Unfortunately, they weren’t what they are today. This doesn’t mean I don’t have an extensive back catalog…
