One of the things I like about living by myself is watching old movies. I have a Netflix two movies per month membership and so far I have watched "Sergent York", "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington", "The Ghost and Mrs. Murier", "To Kill a Mockingbird", and "Mrs. Miniver",to name a few, and tonight, I watched Tracy and Hepburn in "Adams Rib". I truly love these old movies. One of the things I enjoy is seeing many of the same people in each of these different movies. I know this was a time when the actors and actresses had contracts with specific studios, so they were in multiple movies, but it is fun to spot them in bit parts in one, and then major parts in another. It's like "Where is Waldo", but on screen.
I love the costumes, the dresses the women wore were so fabulous, and the nightgowns and robes were flowingly beautiful. Hats, everyone wore hats. The men and the women all wore hats. Mostly, I think the women's hats were ridiculous, feathers and birds and netting over their face. Apparently I am not a hat fan, but I appreciate that they were a part of the movie and the ambiance of that movie. Oh, and the women, WOW, did many of them have these knock out figures. Katharine Hepburn, in "Adams Rib", what a beauty she was in her costume dresses. I watched another old one with her in it, I can't recall the name, it had Cary Grant, anyway, she wore this white swim robe, and she looked like a Greek Goddess in it.....oh, and I love the fact that obscene language has yet to be introduced to the film industry......my "hats off" to old movies!
