CINEMA NOSTALGIA

mostly my nostalgic and frequently puerile reflections on old movies, music and whatever pops from the recesses of memory....i have detailed memory of the oddest and more insignificant details.......these memories codify and indelibly emboss the past into my portrait of the future.......and a bit queer, to boot!

Over The Counter (1932)SOME REAL NONSENSE FROM 1932...........women are traduced from corseted repression to willing metaphoric exploitation........First 'Lady', Eleanor Roosevelt, a few years later, would provide some hope and respite to women, emerging from their man-made cocoons, in heels and lipstick, alas......still, but fodder for Hollywood's exploitative chauvinistic sexism, as men sought both 'respectable' Wives and flapper fantasy broads......one, by contract.....the other, 'over the counter'.......

OVER THE COUNTER gets my 'tackiest costume' award for 1932, incidentally...

About Me

My photo
vaporcloud
pragmatic sensualist, motivated by really deep instincts, actualized by willful imaginings and perpetuated by other's desires. Abstract, yet clear in purpose, honest, but abstruse, my moods change like winds and water with my confidences, and when ungrounded, i am both guarded and vulnerable, leaning, in darkness, to the Light, nurtured by instinctual feelings arising from a deep gene pool.
