Matinee Monday - Creature With the Atom Brain (1955)

Creature With the Atom Brain (1955) poster

Creature With The Atom Brain (1955) is one of those fun, cheesy sci-fi films that could only have been made in the 50's.  I adore these films.  You can take the subject seriously or you may just enjoy the awesomeness and laugh along with the cast.

Joan, Jean, and Angela

Joan Shawlee, Angela Stevens, and Jean Willes.  I'm guessing it's from 1953's From Here to Eternity since they all appeared in the film with minor roles.  I'm not that familiar with these actresses.

Jean Willes in The Twilight Zone

After a bit of research, I found out that Jean Willes was in one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes of all time - "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?"  While the makeup is cheesy, it really is a twist ending.  Paranoia really builds in a great way.  The suspense and the ending get me every time!

Fashion Friday - Perfect Petticoat

Plaid Taffeta Petticoat from 1947.  It's absolutely adorable!  I would love a petticoat like that.  I assume the whiteness around the picture was for publication purposes.  If that isn't one of the cutest petticoats, I don't know what is.

Groucho Acting Goofy

In honor of what would have been Groucho Marx's 123rd birthday, here are some pictures from Night in Casablanca (1946).

I haven't seen it in a while, but the Marx Brothers are quite funny.
