One Dress a Day Challenge

November: Oscar winners

Samson and Delilah / Hedy Lamarr as Delilah

Year: 1950

Designers: Edith Head, Dorothy Jeakins, Elois Jenssen, Gile Steele and Gwen Wakeling

I've meant to revisit this spectacular dress ever since it first featured in Coeli's picks, and since today was Hedy Lamarr's birthday, this seems an appropriate time. Delilah wears a jaw-dropping array of costumes in this film, each one more sumptuous than the last. Just when you think they couldn't possibly top the last one, she shows up for the finale in this peacock gown!

The cape is lavishly adorned with real feathers. Legend says they were "donated" by the peacocks owned by Paramount Studios!

The costume was part of Debbie Reynolds' collection, and it has survived in remarkably good condition.

6-Sheet style movie poster for the 1949 15-episode serial New Adventures of Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder, or more simply, Batman and Robin. The artwork, by Glenn Cravath, features Batman (Robert Lowery) and Robin (Johnny Duncan) parachuting in to capture the Wizard, a black-hooded mastermind who has stolen a remote control device that allows him to control any motorized vehicle within 50 miles. Vicky Vale (Jane Adams) looks on.

Along with some late night drawing, tonight’s late night movie is the 1949 biblical epic “Samson & Delilah”. Like most movies based on Bible stories, this movie takes some creative liberties while also faithfully retelling the story from the biblical book of Judges.

One Dress a Day Challenge

July: Blue Redux (+ Green Redux)

The Inspector General / Elsa Lanchester as Maria

The 1830s is a decade that doesn't make it to film particularly often. I like the unusual combination of black and light blue here, and the looped pattern around the neckline with the little heart-shaped ornament in front. I'm not an expert, but I believe the hairstyle is actually from a decade or two later, with the dangling ringlets.

Costumes for this movie were by (William) Travilla, who also designed costumes for several of Marilyn Monroe's films and, much later in his career, the TV show Dallas. This was one of his early projects.
