Helping relatives move. Eating sandwiches while sitting on folding chairs. Reminded of Lauren Bacall in
Millionaire playing solitaire on a card table after she's sold all her furniture. [William Powell is totally wasted in the film. Not inebriated; I mean underused.] Of course, Bacall is wearing couture in her empty apartment and I'm... well, not.
So this post is simply an excuse to stare at Bogie's wife, since I'm in a Bacall mood.

| One of my favorites of her costumes. This is her intro outfit in Murder On The Orient Express |

"How to Marry a Millionaire" is one of those glitzy, glamorous '50s films I watch every so often just for the pure pleasure of it. MM, Bacall & Grable are all fetching in their very different ways...how MM ended up with David Wayne, though ("blind as a bat" is no excuse), is beyond me. But it was Bacall's film - and she had her pick of the two best "catches" in it (although Rory Calhoun was looking good). I've always loved that penthouse, that slowly emptying-of-furniture penthouse...
ReplyDeleteHer hat in murder on the Orient Express is fantastic. Not a huge fan of the film (love the book) but what a great cast of actors it has.
ReplyDeleteLauren is my favorite, hnds down. Love the pictures! Makes me want to watch Millioniare....again.
ReplyDeleteBacall is one of my favs in fashion!
