Cosplay Under the Stars: Sylvia Sidney

For the incomparable Sylvia Sidney’s Summer Under the Stars day, I recreated a 1932 cover of Screen Romance, which features her film The Miracle Man (1932).

I haven’t seen The Miracle Man, but I’ll certainly seek it out now. Also, If anyone has a credit on who was the artist of the original painting, please let me know!

While this is my first cosplay of Sidney, I have written about her 1936 film Fury before for Noirvember.

Thanks again to my SO for contributing their painting skill!

See you all on Monday for Norma Shearer’s SUTS celebration!

What is Cosplay Under the Stars?

If you’re new here, every August, Turner Classic Movies celebrates Summer Under the Stars. Each day of the month, a different film star gets a full 24 hours of programming. In 2017, on a whim, I decided to put together closet cosplays of every woman featured that month. And so, Cosplay Under the Stars was born.

Casablanca (1942)

Kari watches a black and white film made almost 50 years before she was born.

Casablanca is well-known as one of the best film romances of all time so I decided I should watch it in the pursuit of list-achievement. Once I got a few minutes in, I did realise I’ve seen it once before, so it’s not 100% something new. But, in my usual style of being a jitterbug, I didn’t pay a huge deal of attention. So I feel like this still counts.

Casablanca is the love story of Rick and Ilsa, who met in Paris at the beginning of the war (WWII) and were separated when Germany invaded. They meet up a few years later in Casablanca, when Ilsa and her husband Victor Lazlo enter into Rick’s Cafe.

My favourite parts of indulging in this black and white delight were mostly just watching Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. Their presence on screen in grey-tones was strangely spellbinding. Much enjoyment was had and would definitely watch it again when feeling whimsical.
