Old Hollywood Scarlett

My name is Wilma. I'm a girl from Holland who is a big fan of old Hollywood movies. The movies I mostly enjoy are coming from the periode of silent Hollywood and the 50's and 60's. This blog will be dedicated to those movies.

Let’s just take a moment of silence for all the wasted potential for our non-canon ships, crack ships, ships that were done dirty by the writers, dead ships, ships that could have had it all and ships that should’ve been endgame but were ruined at the last minute.

Rare candid footage of Rudolph Valentino goofing off with Agnes Ayres on the set of The Sheik. Part of me watches this and goes, “Shameless hussy!” The other part goes, “Well, yeah, that’s how I’d be acting around Rudy, too.”

Out West is a 1918 short comedy film, a satire on contemporary westerns, starring Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, Buster Keaton, and Al St. John. It was the first of Arbuckle's "Comique" films to be filmed on the west coast, the previous five having been filmed in and around New York City. The idea for the story came from Natalie Talmadge, who was later to become Keaton's first wife.

The story involves Arbuckle coming to the western town of Mad Dog Gulch (which the intertitles call "the toughest town in the movies") after being thrown off a train and chased by Indians. He teams up with gambler/saloon owner Bill Bullhorn (Keaton), in trying to keep the evil Wild Bill Hickup (Al St. John) away from Salvation Army girl, Salvation Sue (Alice Lake). Fatty and Buster have a series of adventures trying to beat St. John, until they discover his one weakness: his ticklishness.

The first movie theaters were often equipped with only one projector, the light source of which could illuminate both motion picture film and glass slides, allowing the projectionist to keep the audience entertained as he changed reels. Theaters commonly used glass slides to promote upcoming films as pictured above.

Lillian Diana Gish (October 14, 1893 – February 27, 1993) was an American stage,] screen and television actress, director and writer whose film acting career spanned 75 years, from 1912 to 1987. Gish was called The First Lady of American Cinema.

She was a prominent film star of the 1910s and 1920s, particularly associated with the films of director D. W. Griffith, including her leading role in one of the highest grossing films of the era Griffith's seminal Birth of a Nation (1915). Her sound-era film appearances were sporadic, but included well-known roles in the controversial western Duel in the Sun (1946) and the offbeat thriller Night of the Hunter (1955). She did considerable television work from the early 1950s into the 1980s, and closed her career playing, for the first time, opposite Bette Davis in the 1987 film The Whales of August.

Funny hommage to Yul Brynner, who starred in The 10 Commandments and The Magnificent Seven (beyond many other movies) and who portrayed the King of Siam more than 4600 times in the musical The King and I !

The gifs are made out of a Youtube video of an old American television show/game where they invited a secret guest star and four other guest had to find out who it was by asking a predefined number of questions. The game show was called What’s My Line.
