Cornel Wilde , "The Big Combo", 1955
Ford looks pretty dapper here. Quite different from the sweaty and dusty ol' cowboy characters I'm accustomed to seeing him play.Glen Ford, "Framed" (1947). With Janice Page, Barry Sullivan, and Edgar Buchanan. Not the top of the best of the film noirs but it's still up there and entertaining. View attachment 641500 View attachment 641501
Several WWII vets who grew up in rodeo competitions came home & got their start in the booming motion picture business as extras because they knew how to ride. Ben Johnson was another one.Dear John was Slim Pickens favorite horse that he's riding here in these two pics w/o losing his hat.
A shout out to Annie Hardinge, costumer of Magpie Murders, for hand-bashing the hats.
For me it ruins period films to see modern mass-produced machine-shaped fedoras.
Atticus Pund's hat (left) is really cool and adds much to his character.

Great photos. I saw that years ago—will have to try and find it again. I remember him in a Glenn Miller movie called Sun Valley Serenade—lightweight but enjoyable.One well known actor from the 1930s and 1940s was John Payne, who was real good in film noir and did several of those films.
These pictures are from the 1949 film noir, "The Crooked Way". John Payne portrays a returning amnesiac WWII Vet who was wounded in battle and released from a military hospital. He went to Los Angeles to retrace his steps to see if he could regain his memory only to find that his real name isn't the decorated war hero, Eddie Rice, but a notorious gangster, Eddie Riccardi, who changed his identity and joined the army to escape gansters who were out for revenge.
Great hats in this one.
I saw that one a few times and found it again on ROKU. I first saw John Payne in an old Christmas movie from 1947, "Miracle on 42nd Street", which also starred a young child actress Natalie Wood.Great photos.

That’s a good one, Terry! Have you ever seen Impact? I watched recently—I’d never hear of before and it’s now one of my favorite noirs.Raymond Burr and Dick Powell from the 1948 film noir, "Pitfall"
Excellent film noir! I watched it a few times. Brian Donleavy was great in that one. If you have ROKU you can watch it again there.That’s a good one, Terry! Have you ever seen Impact? I watched recently—I’d never hear of before and it’s now one of my favorite noirs.
If you ever get the chance, this one is well worth watching. "Hangmen Also Die", (1943), again with Brian Donleavy. It's directed by Fritz Lang, a classic film noir director. The movie centers around the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, a vicious NAZI henchman. I'll just leave that there.That’s a good one, Terry! Have you ever seen Impact?

Wild Horses can be streamed pretty regular. Nice job!JW was once commissioned by Robert Duval to make a hat for him for the movie "Wild Horses".
