  1930s, 20 percent club, Constance Bennett in fur, ermine, fur cape, fur coat, fur collar, fur cuffs, fur stole, fur trim, furs in film, mink, red fox, sable, silver fox

  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…

  Not sure I’ve mentioned this… oh, yes, I have… but I’m a big fan of this scene from Shanghai Express and continue to wait patiently for TCM to show the film, which used to air almost every freaking month, again. Ironically this publicity shot provides a much clearer view of exactly how much fur “isn’t”…

  1930s, 20 percent club, fur coat, fur collar, fur cuffs, fur trim, fur wrap, furs in film, mink, red fox, sable, silver fox

  Let’s stay in the year 1934, and stick with high-handed melodrama, while we’re at it. Success at Any Price illustrates a point that I’d describe with Shanghai Express if TCM would just show it again… that even fur I’m not a huge fan of can be put to great use. Success at Any Price –…

  1960s, blue fox, fur collar, fur hat, fur muff, fur parka, fur trim, furs in film, mink, Natalie Wood in fur, red fox, sable, silver fox

  I’m posting a film from 1965 about events in 1908. It will join previous time-shifting entries like City Heat and the Dr. Phibes films. Still, it’s a film from 1965, and it will neatly fill the gap in the decade list. Besides, The Great Race has Natalie Wood in 5 different furs in the space…

  2000s, fur coat, fur hat, fur wrap, furs in film, mink, red fox, sable, silver fox

  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…

  Dietrich in London, fox, Marlene Dietrich in Fur, sable, Shanghai Express, smoking in fur

  I’d say I’m starting this series out on an easy one, but that’s the point. Marlene Dietrich is one of those figures who is quite clearly associated with furs. Her on screen fur wardrobe is stocked with classics. This list is not meant to be exhaustive. I’m concentrating on films I have clips from, and…
