Happy 77th Birthday to Bambi released August 13, 1942 🦌

A film with one of the most shocking deaths in Disney history; Bambi is a beloved film that has lasted through the ages. It’s a slightly haunting film where you never see ‘Man,’ the antagonist but audiences feel plenty of contempt for him when Bambi’s mother is cruelly killed offscreen. Despite this shocking scene, Bambi has plenty of heart and some cracking quotable lines! Most of the cast have passed on now, but voicing talents include Hardie Albright, Peter Behn, Paula Winslowe, Sterling Holloway, Sam Edwards and Ann Gillis 🐇

Thumper and Miss Bunny are available as a meet and greet and their pictures, along with Bambi and Flower, often get used as decorations or merchandise around Tokyo Disney Resort 🐾

The Brink's Job (1978). A fictional retelling of the infamous Brink's Company robbery in Boston, which took place on January 17th, 1950, with a score of $2.700.000, and cost the American taxpayers $29.000.000 to apprehend the culprits with only $58.000 recovered.

I've loved a lot of William Friedkin's films over the years – particular Sorcerer, the one that came out just before this – but I unfortunately can't say the same for this one. It's not bad exactly, and there were parts that were pretty fun, but it never really seemed to root us well in characters, and it made the journey of the film feel undefined. It was fine as a heist film, but not really much more. 6.5/10.

I was fortunate enough to have recently interviewed the voices of Bambi and Thumper. I’ll post the interview when it runs later this week. In the meantime, here’s a tease.

[marryat92]

Frederick Marryat just indirectly answered one of my most burning Regency fashion questions, and I almost feel embarrassed that I didn’t know the answer until now. In Peter Simple the protagonist’s wealthy grandfather offers him an expensive gift: “Don’t be afraid; what shall it be — a watch and seals, or — any thing you most fancy?”

Watch and seals: so that’s the bell-shaped ornament on the end of the ribbon watch fob of the early 19th century! Useful for sealing letters with wax, and of course communicating a genteel status for the wearer. As an example here is a real, historical person who could be a character in a Marryat novel: midshipman Robert Deans, born in 1792 and painted around 1807 in a Royal Navy midshipman’s uniform, according to the UK National Maritime Museum.

The visible shirt frill and high black silk cravat are familiar accessories of the well-dressed Marryat hero, and at the young gentleman’s waist you can clearly see a watch key and a seal. The ribbon that would connect these objects to his pocket watch is concealed by his waistcoat. (A showier, longer ribbon might be discouraged, as Marryat’s characters in Peter Simple warn that a captain “gave a youngster five dozen the other day for wearing a scarlet watch-riband”)

For more on the intersection of civilian fashion and Royal Navy uniforms I strongly recommend Amy Miller’s book Dressed to Kill: British Naval Uniform, Masculinity and Contemporary Fashions 1748-1857

“Dass Männer stark sind, ist ein Aberglaube, den Männer erfunden haben.”

Hoch über den Dächern von Westberlin residiert in einem gläsernen Turm der vitale Wirtschaftsmagnat Robert Fleming (O. E. Hasse), der keinerlei Widerspruch erträgt und mit Geld alles kaufen zu können glaubt. Sein kostbarster “Besitz” ist seine attraktive Frau Katja (Lilli Palmer), eine ehemalige Schauspielerin, die für ihren Gatten den Beruf aufgegeben hat.

Als der amerikanische Dramatiker John Lawrence (Peter van Eyck) Katja die Rolle in seinem neuen Theaterstück anbietet, betrachtet sie dies als Möglichkeit, ihrem luxuriösen Gefängnis als bloßes Inventar an der Seite eines Mannes, für den sie lediglich Geringschätzung empfindet, zu entfliehen. Zwischen beiden entwickelt sich eine zarte Liebesbeziehung. Die Emanzipationsbestrebungen seiner Gattin empfindet Fleming als persönlichen Affront und deutet gegenüber Dr. Krell (Hannes Messemer) an, Katja sei mental instabil. Der Psychiater lässt sie in mehreren Sitzungen über ihre Befindlichkeiten reflektieren und nimmt die Gespräche auf Tonband auf. Als Fleming sich in den Besitz dieser Aufzeichnungen setzt, muss er erkennen, dass ihn seine Frau niemals geliebt hat und sein forciertes Selbstbewusstsein durchschaut hat, das keinerlei selbstbestimmte Persönlichkeit an seiner Seite duldet. Der in seiner Ehre maßlos Gekränkte will nunmehr zerstören, was er nicht mehr zu besitzen vermag. Er ersinnt einen Plan, seine Frau, den Nebenbuhler und sich selbst zu vergiften ... Harald Brauns elegantes Gesellschaftsdrama verfügt über exzellente darstellerische Leistungen, wobei ganz besonders Lilli Palmer und O. E. Hasse hervorzuheben sind sowie über eine eindrucksvolle visuelle Gestaltung durch Friedl Behn-Grund, der die Kälte und Entfremdung des Ehepaars inmitten von Marmor, Glas und Stahl kongenial vermittelt.
