How to wear rolled stockings
Search for Beauty (1934) has this extra, wearing
rolled stockings, for about two and a half seconds
in a locker room scene. Mmmmm.
Here's a clip:

1939, The Year of Thomas Mitchell
I was watching the Turner Classic Movies documentary 1939: Hollywood's Greatest Year, which is all about how the studios seemed to release some of their finest movies in the span of one memorable year. There's Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz, of course. And The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Gunga Din, Of Mice and Men, The Roaring Twenties, and Stagecoach. It was a busy and incredible year, the likes of which we will never see again. But what I noticed was how often character actor Thomas Mitchell appeared in the film clips. Five of Hollywood's greatest 1939 films feature Thomas Mitchell. They are The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Gone with the Wind, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Only Angels Have Wings, and Stagecoach. He won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his work in Stagecoach. He also had roles in Lost Horizon (1937), The Hurricane (1937), Our Town (1940), Moontide (1942), Bataan (1943), Buffalo Bill (1944), It's a Wonderful Life (1946), High Noon (1952), and Pocketful of Miracles (1961). What a career! What a character!

Video Ephemera
I've noticed that many items on U-Toob (especially classic film clips, music, and such) tend to disappear rather quickly. Which means that our links to them become useless. I've had to go back and delete a lot of links from old posts. I think what I'll do now is tag these items as "U-Toob" posts, so I can more quickly find them again and see if the videos are still up. It'll reduce the number of dead links and confusing posts. So bear with me here, and enjoy these. While they last. (Almost looks like a NSFW Deadlicious post here.)
