One Dress a Day Challenge

August: Fantasy and Sci-fi

Metropolis / Brigitte Helm as the Maschinenmensch (robot)

Does this really count as a costume? Is it more of a prosthetic? I'm really not sure how to classify it, but it is definitely iconic--and hugely influential on design in movies ever since.

I found an article with a fascinating description of how the suit was made: "The robot, whose construction took weeks, was made of 'plastic wood', a kneadable substance made of wood, hardening quickly when exposed to the air, allowing itself to be modeled like organic wood. They first took a plaster cast mould of Brigitte Helm from head to toe. Parts resembling a knight’s armour, cut out of Hessian, were covered with 2 mm substance, flattened by means of a kitchen pastry roller. This was then stuck on to the plaster Brigitte Helm, like a shoemaker pulls leather over his block. When the material had hardened, the parts were polished, the contours cut out.... Finally, cellon varnish mixed with solver bronze, and applied with a spray gun, gave the costume its genuinely metallic appearance which even seemed convincing when looked at from close range."

I'm all the more impressed after learning that Brigitte Helm was only eighteen when she played the triple role of the robot, Maria, and "False Maria"! And I love the behind-the-scenes picture of her getting a drink while a hair dryer is applied to the suit.

MÄDCHEN IN UNIFORM (1958) dir. Géza von Radványi A remake of the 1931 film. After the death of her mother in 1910, Manuela von Meinhardis is sent to a boarding school at Potsdam that is run under rigid Prussian discipline by the authoritarian headmistress. The only teacher to show her sympathy is Miss von Bernburg, who disagrees with the militaristic regime at the school and encourages the girls' self-expression through the arts. All Manuela's affection is therefore poured out on the attractive Miss von Bernburg, but it's only a matter of time before said forbidden love becomes known... (link in title)

Peter Lorre in "Dope" - aka "Der weiße Dämon" / "Stupéfiants" (1932)

"Lorre creates the symbol of the narcotic. He is the evil that becomes flesh, the creepy one . . . a warning sign to all, whenever they run across a human being like him who knows nothing of luck, love and true humanity. "Tell your audience that Peter Lorre creates a type which, far from all cliché, is psychologically highly interesting and must be called a unique performance, and at the same time will not miss giving the audience a moral imprint." -Excerpt from press book, as seen in The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre by Stephen D. Youngkin

I decided to revisit Der Weisse Dämon (The White Demon) and its simultaneously-filmed French language version, Stupéfiants (Narcotics).

Or if you were in Austria (or on IMDB), Rauschgift (Dope). Peter plays Buckliger (aka Hunchback). And in Stupéfiants, he does indeed speak French!

Der Weisse Dämon - Peter Lorre with Raoul Asla as Dr. Urusew:

Stills from these movie(s) are sometimes mistaken for "Mad Love" (1935). Be fooled no more: Our Peter sacrificed his hair twice for films.

Der Weisse Dämon - with Trude von Molo as Dora Lind:

Der Weisse Dämon - with Gerda Maurus as Gerda Gildemeister:

Enjoy a mix across both versions:

Watch "Der Weisse Damon"

Watch "Stupefiants"

Watch... 😁😁
