But SHANGHAI EXPRESS is not yet available on DVD. When that's the case, I spend hours culling the internet to find the types of images I want and modify them so that they work for the look and story I want to telling on GlamAmor. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!<br /><br />TCM's online schedule has a feature that you can set to remind you by email when movies are coming up. Try it out and get a heads up when SHANGHAI EXPRESS is on next! :)Kimberly Truhlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568754070267220809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959252133628799060.post-82367294110522660172011-11-12T08:13:17.544-08:002011-11-12T08:13:17.544-08:00I love Marlene.

D...I agree, Kay, the cinematography is to die for! Don't you wish that you could have someone photographing you like that...with the blinds casting strategic shadows across your face? And James Wong Howe IS amazing. I did know that he photographed THE THIN MAN, which is one of my favorite films (and series)...so fun. My favorite lighting of his are HUD and SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS. It's really due to his photography that you seem to be able to feel the temperature and breathe the air of each of those locations, and he really captures the mood of those movies. Just beautiful.Kimberly Truhlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568754070267220809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959252133628799060.post-16636144012955370832011-11-09T12:17:25.641-08:002011-11-09T12:17:25.641-08:00Thanks for sharing, Rosemarie!

This movie is so important for showcasing those glamorous extras like the feathers and fur, and the styling doesn't seem forced at all. Great lessons here for any up and coming designers.Kimberly Truhlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568754070267220809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959252133628799060.post-12036243062710209632011-11-09T11:42:28.031-08:002011-11-09T11:42:28.031-08:00Oh, Kimberly, that photo of her standing by the Ve...Oh, Kimberly, that photo of her standing by the Venetian blinds, every kind of stripe diagonally leading the viewer's eyes all over the place...WOW!<br />You probably know that James Wong Howe did The Thin Man and Algiers, too. He's AMAZING!!!

If only train travel were still ...I love this film. If only train travel were still so mysterious and romantic (if it ever was). I recall reading that the reason Paramount costume designers were so keen on furs was because Adolph Zukor, the studio head, had started as a furrier. All those feathers and furs - and beautiful veils - certainly add to Dietrich's glamour in this picture.Rosemarie Keenanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04304976655439241779noreply@blogger.com
