[QUOTE="Toni, post: 416006, member: 82"] I finished the year with a great movie. [CENTER][ATTACH type="full"]55212[/ATTACH] A very charming poster for the movie, that was called in both Spain and Brazil "The Strange Passenger". I think I still have one of these at home. [/CENTER] It was "Now, Voyager", which I had seen numerous times but still looked fresh and sent the "girl, you can do it because you can" message that today is being used as mere, shallow propaganda. Here is a woman who starts making decisions in life and changes it on her own. The only thing she needed was a shrink, played by Claude Rains. And an complete makeover, that is, out with big eyebrows and in with Orry-Kelly´s fashions and big hats.[IMG]https://filmfreakdesign.com/cdn/shop/files/001principal_9286111c-ad4f-42d2-b73d-fec0faf8d22c.png?v=1701452196&width=823[/IMG] [CENTER]Here are 28 of 30 dresses Bette wore for this movie.[/CENTER] I loved the very adult relationship between Bette and Paul Henreid (both he and Rains jumped from this set to the next to join the "Casablanca" filming), as handsome as always.
