McDonalds

"I'll have the Number 4 breakfast with cheese,

a milk, and a small black coffee, please."

"You want cheese with that?"

"Uhhh. . .yeah."

"White or chocolate?"

"What?"

"Chocolate milk or white milk?"

"White milk. You get a lot of heroin addicts in here

who order chocolate milk for breakfast?"

"Cream in your coffee, sir?"

"No, it's a black small black coffee."

"And that's small?"

"Yup."

Madame Gorgeous

B-movie actress Anne Nagel is not to be confused with
British actress Anna Neagle. Our Anne Nagel appeared
in Bullets or Ballots (1936), Hoosier Schoolboy (1937),
Escape by Night (1937), Gang Bullets (1938), and Never
Give a Sucker an Even Break (1941), in which she played
a character named "Madame Gorgeous."



(These vidcaps are from Gang Bullets, Escape by Night,
and The Mad Monster (1942), most of which are now
Public Domain.)

Elke Sommer's back!

There are so many Elke Sommer photos on Starlet
Showcase that I can't even link you to them all.

more.

Just routine maintenance on the "Non-Blonde"
folder. But there are some stunners in here.


(Isn't the Venetian blind shadow effect supposed
to mean something viscerally significant in the
visual language of film noir? Doesn't it indicate
a social, moral, or geopolitical stratification?
Doesn't it dice up the hard-boiled detective's
psychological background or vivisect his angst
or ennui or some such B.S.?)
