The Fountainhead
Sgt. York
Citizen Kane
The Man who Shot Liberty Valance.
Not including Obama and Gibbs’ farewell press conference yesterday?
No casablanca? I remember watching it and counting the times they used shadows to depict action (for instance, when Bogart goes to the safe. And all the palm plants shadowed against the walls. Not the same in color.
By the way, I saw the original “feather” Top Hat dress that Ginger Rogers wore. Fred Astaire hated it - you can see the feathers flying around while they dance, but it really doesn’t show up in the black and white. It is really sky blue, not white.
I always wonder what color so many of the original dresses are. I remember reading an article by Edith Head, that so many of the dresses were not the same color you think - they would test them in black and white, to see how the color “read” on the screen.
For instance, the “Jezebel” dress where Betty Davis was supposed to wear a red dress to the ball - they found the color that “screamed” red was really a brown.
I'm sure he just forgot.
It’s a Wonderful Life.
Anything with a cast including John Wayne, Maureen O’Hara, Victor McLaglen, Barry Fitzgerald, Ward Bond, Ben Johnson, Harry Carey Jr. et ali!
The Thing.
