Furs on Film – The Killer Reserved Nine Seats (1974)
2 minutes·

I can’t tell you the number of times I hear, “I want to watch a horror movie with fur, but I only have twenty minutes to spare!” I can’t tell you because I’ve never heard anyone say that, but that’s beside the point. Do I have a twenty-minute time investment slash slice of Italian cheese…

Furs on Film – The House That Vanished (1973)
Up next in our cinematic tour of “overdressed women exploring poorly lit places” is an earlier entry. Yes, it’s the early ‘70s, and that means big ole coyote fur coats and some more imported spooks from Europe. This week, it’s an English/Spanish co-production named The House That Vanished. Spoiler: the house does not vanish. The…

Furs on Film – Cocktail (1988)
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…

Furs on Film – Wait Until Dark (1967)
So, August is “low effort post” month. Or, it starts that way, with a one-and-done affair that you can check out of very early. The “good” news here is you won’t suffer too much if you keep going, as Wait Until Dark is generally agreed to be a pretty good movie. Wait Until Dark –…

Furs on Film – Harlow (1965)

So July is “tragic blonde month,” and we end with one more: Jean Harlow. Harlow biopics have the advantage of being set in the 1930s, the second-best fur decade after the 1980s (and most of the 1970s, but they’re all just one great streak). In 1965, Hollywood did the thing and released two different Harlow…

Furs on Film – Norma Jean & Marilyn (1996)

Time to cover that controversial Marilyn Monore biopic. What? What? Norma Jean & Marilyn – The Film This version is a “made-for-television” movie from 1996. The “television” in question was HBO, so today, it would be a twelve-part prestige series, not a movie. She’d spend seven hours in her small town to really hammer home…

Ah, Italian cinema, the home of some of the most beautiful women in the world. Today we look at L’arcangelo, aka The Archangel, which features a glamorous blonde in the lead role. Where might this stunning beauty hail from? What bustling, historic Italian town produced this breathtaking blonde? *Checks notes* Oklahoma City? The hell? L’arcangelo…

Furs on Film – The Phantom (1996)

In “twin film” lore, The Phantom and The Shadow aren’t entirely as well known as your Deep Impacts, Armageddons, Dantes Peaks, and Volcanos. That’s because, in this case, they were both flops. Amongst the many similarities they shared, the one we’re interested in here today is their setting in the 1930s and the costume designer’s…

Furs on Film – Seven Golden Men (1965)
4 minutes·

While the “swinging” Sixties aren’t my favorite fur fashion decade, it turns in some good stuff occasionally. And, hey, you’re more likely to find fur in a ’60s film than anything made after 1990. Granted, you may be wondering what a movie about Seven Golden Men has to do with fur fashion, but fortunately, those…

Furs on Film – 101 Dalmatians (1996)

So, we’re doing this, the first faux update on the site. But, some may protest, some of it surely was real. If, for some reason, that is important to you, feel free to cite sources. I found the standard sanctimonious denials anyone would give for a not-a-period-piece film heavily featuring fur fashion released in 1996.…
