There's a good old British film with Vivien Leigh and Charles Laughton on youtube in 480p.

"St. Martins Lane" (1938)
A.K.A "Sidewalks Of London"

Why don’t we pitch in and buy the dress for
Chrissy Matthews. Where do I send my dollar?

Years ago when the Costume Institute first opened an exhibition in the downstairs of the Met Museum in NYC, they had the most incredible exhibit I’ve ever seen. Never seen anything like it since.

The curtain dress was there with many others from the movie, but also the black and white dress from My Fair Lady (C’mon Dover, move your..!), the costumes from Top Hat, including Ginger Rogers ostrich feather dress (It was light blue!) and Fred’s impossibly tiny tux (he was only about 145 lbs at the time, I heard), the ballet costumes from the original Midsummer’s Night Dream (they were nude leotards with strings of crystals) Marie Antoinette, Marlene Dietrich, It Happened One Night, etc.

I was young then but loved movies. If I saw it now I would have known so many more of the clothes.

Olivia de Havilland, who was in “Gone With The Wind,” is actually still alive. Hard to believe.

Not to disparage a classic film but would that money be better spent doing something else than this? If it was a private donation, I’m okay with that but if this money is from government coffers, I’m a bit offended at their waste.
