Hi Socialphiers! I came across another awesome blog this week that I am very excited to share with you. It's on Tumblr and it's called "Old Hollywood". The blog features photos and images from films ranging from 1900 to 1979. Here are a few examples of my favorites and if you like it then you can check out the rest!



Harold Lloyd in Feet First (1930, dir. Clyde Bruckman)



Catherine Deneuve in Vice and Virtue (1963, dir. Roger Vadim)



Ivan’s Childhood (1962, dir. Andrei Tarkovsky)

Q. A critic who admires your work very much said that, in The Trial, you were repeating yourself…

Welles: Exactly, I repeated myself. I believe we do it all the time. We always take up certain elements again. How can it be avoided? An actor’s voice always has the same timbre and, consequently, he repeats himself. It is the same for a singer, a painter…There are always certain things that come back, for they are part of one’s personality, of one’s style. If these things didn’t come into play, a personality would be so complex that it would become impossible to identify it.

It is not my intention to repeat myself, but in my work there should certainly be references to what I have done in the past. Say what you will, but The Trial is the best film I ever made…I have never been so happy as when I made this film.”
