As I think you know, I'm a film nut...the more long-lost the film the better. I thought you'd might like this cute, little short....i guess it could be considered a period 'stag' film from the 1940s. I assure you...it's very tame, very silly, it's got a great soundtrack and I think you'll enjoy...
Certainly 'politically incorrect' by today's standards....but then it was 1942. This comes from a very interesting website to view obscure films (features, shorts and animation) from the 30s - 50s.

If you get a chance you should see the film 'Rififi' (French, 1955, b/w). I just checked it out from my local library. It's about a small group of seedy characters who plan a robbery of a Parisian jewelry store. Great French film noir...great clothes. Many, many heist films were influenced by...
Soundies: Created in the 1940s, some call them the precurser to the music video.
I found this website a few months ago:

click on 'Prelinger Archives" then do a search for 'Soundies.' There are many to watch. You'll need QuickTime player. There are bands and singer...
I recently found a cool website where you can watch classic films from the 30s and 40s.....the ones that you'll never find on tv or on video (except 'Reefer Madness). Very low budget westerns, cops and robbers, war, etc. with actors I've never heard of. It's a non-profit site...sort of like an...
I found this autographed photo in a thrift store a while back. She appears to be a 1940s movie actress by the name of Lucy Monroe judging from hair style, make-up and a glamour-style photo appearance.
Wearing a military-style oufit and signed 'Patriotically Yours,' I'm guessing it was taken...
Does anyone else like to buy the old 78 rpm records to play? Luckily I have an old turntable that can play them....what an authentic sound! It's just a pain to keep changing them after each song.
Hi everyone,
I've had this hat for quite a while...rarely wear it...but I don't really know what to call this style. I'm guessing that it's from the late 50s. It is an 'Adam' a product of the Miller Bros. Hat Co. It's in absolute mint condition and I still keep the $1 sticker inside it to...
I lived in Germany a few years back and found this unusual pedestrian crossing sign.
When no one was looking took some black electrical tape and gave the guy a smoking pipe.:D
Just sorta stumbled across this site. Who would've thought there was a website just for fedora wearers?
I collect and wear vintage clothing...including many hats. I can send some photos in the near future.
Thanks,
QB
