I watched Ball of Fire tonight. With Barbara Stanwyck and Gary Cooper.
Edith Head's creations. Her nightclub dress, the shirt dress (see above) and the final dress. Not a big job on the outfits but still a great example of the 40's. Her hairstyle really showed different ways to style those 'betty bangs'. Oh I wish my hair was longer and thicker.
As much as I enjoyed this film, I liked the remake with Danny Kaye and Virginia Mayo much better.
'A Song Is Born'
Irene Sharaff did the clothes on this remake...The biggest difference between the two movies, the remake had all the great musician's of that time graced the golden screen and did it jive!!!
It seemed that even then Hollywood was out of ideas that they didn't even wait 10 yrs before doing a remake.
What's your favorite remake?
