In space, no one can hear you do it, but what if you’re just too darn scared to do it in the first place? These questions are not answered in the 1984 film Too Scared to Scream. The film has a pretty stacked cast, though no one really knew that at the time it was… Read More Furs on Film – Too Scared to Scream (1984)
Time to post that 60’s spy film where the female lead wears a red fox fur coat for a big part of the movie. No, not that one, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Yes, it’s the odd-man-out-Bond that is still 100% cannon. I have no opinion on Lazenby’s Bond, but I have many on the… Read More Furs on Film – On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969)
There’s not a lot that is remarkable about Rent-a-Cop. At best, it’s an ‘80s cop show with naughty words and flirtations with more explicit violence. I don’t think it deserved the attention from the Razzies, but the only particularly remarkable thing about it is how well Liza kept warm throughout the winter exterior shoots. And,… Read More Furs on Film – Rent-a-Cop (1987)
It’s the sixties, and a certain super spy is burning up the silver screen. If you’re United Artists, finding more spies to make movies with was a pretty good idea. One of them was “Harry Palmer,” originally intended to be a bit of a blue-collar contrast to the more well-known spy, he went Bond in… Read More Furs on Film – Billion Dollar Brain (1967)
Welcome back to the other greatest fur fashion decade, the 1930s. I had never heard of this film until I saw Merle Oberon’s photo in white fox from the film. The film is a bit obscure and thus turned out to be almost impossible to find in anything but a colorized DVD. So, while I’m… Read More Furs on Film – Over the Moon (1939)
Want a horror movie set in the desert where the ladies wear fur? Sure, we got that too. Interestingly, White of the Eye relentlessly establishes the southwest Arizona scenery every chance it gets, all so Cathy Moriarty can cruise around it in a red fox jacket. Oh, and a horny housewife can pull the ole… Read More Furs on Film – White of the Eye (1987)
It is finally time to do Mannequin! A joke that would go over better if I had not started putting the year in the title of the posts. Yes, there is another film with the name of a certain Kim Catrall vehicle released precisely five decades later. While there are about 20 seconds of the… Read More Furs on Film – Mannequin (1937)
The sheer amount of media produced means a lot of it is unremarkable, like the 1984 film Covergirl. It’s not very good, it’s not very bad, and it’s about as ‘80s as it can be. This is why there’s a pivotal scene in a fur fashion show and a robot. We won’t be talking about… Read More Furs on Film – Covergirl (1984)
I know; I start adding the year to the title of the posts and quickly choose a film that makes it look stupid. That’s on-brand, at least. I mentioned this film before, but that was over ten years ago, so you are forgiven for not remembering. It’s another one on my old “must-post” list: The… Read More Furs on Film – The Ice Follies of 1939 (1939)
Guess I should put some more effort into this. Thus, as of the current status of my review of all fur media, I present the greatest fur film of the 1970s, The Bitch. It has a couple of things in common with the greatest fur film of the 1930s, The Mad Miss Manton: lots of… Read More Furs on Film – The Bitch (1979)
