Picture Show (A thread for interesting photos from the world of movies and TV)*

"Why Mr. Cooper, ah do declare what a pleasure it is to be receiving your distinguished company as a gentleman caller here in our humble homestead. Ah've always depended upon the kindness of visitors."

 

Just too many levels of irony: somebody photographing Candice Bergen photographing Peter Bogdanovich (making damn sure he gets in the photograph) interviewing Orson Welles on the set of Catch-22.



Note the director's chair for stunt pilot Frank Tallman. A few years earlier his longtime partner Paul Mantz had been killed in a crash on the set of The Flight Of The Phoenix. There was a fatality on this film as well. Wikipedia: "Second unit director John Jordan refused to wear a harness during a bomber scene and fell out of the open tail turret 4,000 ft. to his death."

 

Bad makeup can ruin any first date. A lady will always double check.

And Groucho, of course, Dana Andrews on bar duty, Kirk Douglas flirting with Bardot and more!

 

How much of a geek am I to recognize Roger Deakins on sight ?

 

Giant

James Dean in front of the Reata ranch house. This shot has an eerie, Andrew Wyethish quality.



The crew sets up the shot. Note the vintage car between the crew and the house.



George Stevens directs.



Illusions: the Reata house was just a facade (this angle was never seen in the film).



Outside Marfa Texas, the crumbling ruins of Reata.

 

Geeze, my finger nails are more interesting than what these bozos are talking about.

No I lied. This is actually Charlie Chaplin in 1916. But this pic has always made me think of a post-beat, pre-acid hipster musician.

Sorry for the frivolous interruption. You may now return to serious pic posting.

Have no idea who some of these people are in the last few posts as there is no names for them

 

wow, I thought I'd seen all the shots of the outside in the Fantas special issue. Big thanks for this.

 

agree. You know, to the wife I'm pretty geeky about this stuff, but I'm not THAT good.

 

Smilin Ed posts great pics - unfortunately he doesn't always ID who is in them. I'm pretty good at this but sometimes even I'm stumped.

Here's some ID for Ed's last two posts:

#163:

Director John Huston on location (for Sierra Madre?)

Danny Kaye, Charlie Chaplin, Groucho Marx

A dark-haired Lee Marvin. I don't know the film and don't recognize the director.

#164

Don Siegel directing Richard Widmark and Henry Fonda on location in New York for Madigan

Walter Huston, Tim Holt, John Huston on the set of Sierra Madre. I don't recognize the fourth man (wild guess - Walter's stunt double?)

Burt Lancaster and Barbara Stanwyck shooting a driving scene for Sorry Wrong Number

If you have questions about any other pics just ask. I might know the answer -- then again, I might not!
