Movie hats

Watched it last night again, myself. Great movie that makes up for what it lacks in accuracy.

Dick Powell was one of the best Philip Marlowes, along with Powers Boothe in the HBO series of the Eighties.

Was introducing my daughter Gremlins over the weekend and noticed a fantastic hat in the opening scene
Looks to be a stratoliner or possibly a thin ribbon Borsalino ... who knows

I had forgotten Hoyt Axton, the man who wrote "The Pusher" was in that.

Mr. Axton was a multi-talent, and funny as heck when he used to be on Carson.

Finally found a picture that kind of shows the crease.

One of the best Open Roads to ever grace the screen - wish I could find pic that shows the crease.

"The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford"

This is one of the most wonderfully filmed movies I've ever seen; even "simple" scenes like a conversation between two characters in an old weather-beaten shack is perfectly lit and looks beautiful in all it's squalor thanks to Cinematographer Roger Deakins. I don't know how factual it is (I imagine much of it is pure fiction), but it's worth seeing at least once if you don't mind long movies with a slow, deliberate pace, and the hats and wardrobe look authentic enough to a layman like me.

Al, it is pretty factual as far as it goes. But lots of little nuances are given that a person would not know & therefore pick up unless you had studied that period in history & his part in it. Where the movie fails I think is in making the viewer understand that Jesse had to be killed & it had to be done ASAP. It wasn't about reward money, the Ford brothers were paid very little for killing him. Their sister, Martha Bolton & her young daughter virtually disappear in history.

It came out in 2007, the same yr as "No Country for Old Men" & another movie which escapes me now. I've always heard that "The Assassination..." only made back about half it's budget according to the bean counters, so it's considered a failure.
