etcetera, etcetera, etcetera

So, I'm rather bleary eyed this morning as I stayed up late watching my latest Netflix movie. It's an oldie but a goodie... "Anna and the King of Siam" ... the 1946 black and white, non-singing version of "The King and I."

http://amazon.imdb.com/title/tt0038303/

Very lavish for it's day, and you've never seen so many hoop skirts in one place since "Gone With the Wind."

And Rex Harrison makes a very different King than Yul Brynner. More hair for one thing!

Next up: 1937s "Stage Door" ... where "Anna and the King" has an excess of hoops, "Stage Door" has an excess of furs.

Why do I always judge a movie by it's clothes !!! :0)
