A point of interest: last night, I watched Faithless (1932), in which impoverished newlyweds Tallulah Bankhead and Robert Montgomery are living in a cheap furnished room that happens to have a wall sconce with an art glass shade. In a later scene, Montgomery is in bed recovering from an accident, and a large piece of heavy paper or thin cardboard has been wrapped around the sconce. Just more grist - or perhaps pulp - for the mill. interesting! Thanks, Doghouse. Do you mind if I bring that up in the CHFB (with credit to you, of course)? (Though maybe I shouldn’t—I haven’t really logged on there since the blowback about Mark of the Vampire. “Blowback” about a little ‘30s horror b-picture—that’s silly. Oh well.) I think I commented on it somewhere around here, but I was intrigued by surprisingly close similarities to Dracula in the movie Outward Bound (’30), also with Helen Chandler. So close that I felt like I was watching yet another alternate version of Drac! Oh, by all means...although no credit's necessary; I've lurked on the CHFB for years but never posted or even registered to my recollection, so my ID would mean nothing to the gang over there. I couldn't find an image without it, but here's one with the paper/cardboard:  I wish I hadn't dozed off when TCM ran Outward Bound during Leslie Howard month. I'd seen it once long ago and started to watch it again, but just couldn't keep the orbs peeled. And I didn't even have any cardboard on my chairside lamp. |
