So, if I had a “checklist” of “somewhat well-known ‘fur’ movies” that may or may not be considered “obligatory” to cover, this would be on that list. Cocktail is… fine. I’m just not a fan of sable. So, let’s see what happens to the YouTube metrics when I post something without a fox fur coat… Read More Furs on Film – Cocktail (1988)
“I don’t have time for this because I want to be playing Starfield” Month begins with low-effort post #1: Never Say Never Again. The film and a particular secondary antagonist are pretty well known in several remote little internet huts you don’t want to barge into without knocking. Never Say Never Again – The Film… Read More Furs on Film – Never Say Never Again (1983)
Julie Andrews in a musical? Box office gold, Jerry! Except when it’s not. Yes, we continue the fine tradition of flops with great fur fashion. The 1968 musical Star! landed three years after The Sound of Music with high studio expectations. Things did not go quite as well as hoped; as you may have noticed,… Read More Furs on Film – Star! (1968)
Let’s discuss the limits of technology. Namely, upscaling technology, where the results can be impressive but are still highly dependent on the quality of the source material. In old programmer lingo: garbage in, garbage out. Thus, when you start with fuzzy-VHS-quality standard def, you are not destined for 4k greatness. Thus do I adjust your… Read More Furs on Film – Via Montenapoleone (1987)
It’s VHS time! While I love the 80s, there is quite a bit of media from that time that is only available in postage stamp resolution by modern standards. So forgive the lower quality; AI upscaling can only do so much at this point. I hereby swear, should The Gumshoe Kid be released with a… Read More Furs on Film – The Gumshoe Kid (1990)
At this rate, I’ll be done with the ‘90s pretty soon. The First Wives Club probably lands in that gray area where the costume designers (correctly) figured the “elite” were still wearing furs even though the post-80s backlash was in full swing. So, we get some real fur by way of authenticity, which is still… Read More Furs on Film – The First Wives Club (1996)
The ’80s were great for a lot of reasons. Okay, mostly the furs, but you could also make movies where Nazis were the bad guys without some whiny bitches on Twitter complaining about it. So let’s take a ride on The Last Metro and hope no one shows up in the comments to claim that… Read More Furs on Film – The Last Metro (1980)
Enough of this 2020s BS; let’s head back to simpler times where the women were of low moral character, and the Hays Code had yet to be implemented. Amusingly, the low moral character in question of these Girls About Town is of the fiscal variety, though I’m sure the film producers would have no qualms… Read More Furs on Film – Girls About Town (1931)
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)
This week we have an entry from 1932 that, considering the ratio it racks up, I’d have preferred it be shot in 1938. That’s a bit of a quibble, as it has some good furs, and the viewer can certainly take their time and enjoy them. Besides, it was either this or a ’70s Aussie… Read More Furs on Film – Lady with a Past (1932)
