Thin Ribbon shots from movies

[zetwal]

Any idea where that elevator photo was taken? Is it marketing photo? or a real person out and about? Can you tell us anything about it?

I don't have a picture because I don't own the DVD -- perhaps another Lounger does and can provide a pic -- but John Ireland wears a sharp-looking thin-ribboned fedora throughout Anthony Mann's noir classic RAW DEAL (1948), starring Dennis O'Keefe, Claire Trevor and Marsha Hunt.

OK, this is not from a movie an I don't have a pic to share. I recently saw on TCM a look at the career of Spencer Tracy. I have always admired the way in which he would wear hats both on and off screen. There was some non-movie footage of him sporting a straw Open Road it seemed to even have a cattleman's crease. There was a breeze and the hat actually had some movement and flex to it, not at all like the modern straw OR. Did anyone else see this?

I watched 'Pocket Money' with Lee Marvin and Paul Newman last night. I havent seen the film in years and I really enjoyed it.
Lee Marvin wore a cool looking Open Road type hat the entire movie.

I couldn't find any stills on the 'net, but Back to the Future was on TV, and in the part where Marty gets hit by Lorraine's father's car, Lorraine's dad has on a beautiful grayish Stratoliner or Open Road-type creased in a fedora style just the way I like it. Blink and you'll miss it, so I had to rewind the DVR several times to admire it. There are some nice hats in the movie, but that was the one where I said "Ooh, I want that!"

Clip on YouTube, 2:59 in. Clip doesn't do it justice, though.

Yeah, I could have captured it, but because of the low resolution of the video clip, I thought the hat would be more identifiable in motion rather than as a still. Thanks, Rusty!

"Some Came Running"

I don't have a picture of it to post, but does anyone remember the hat
Dean Martin's character, "Bama" wore in that flick. I'm almost positive it was a thin-ribbon "Open Road."(?)

This one?

Looks like it could definitely be an Open Road. Pretty cool looking, sort of a pork pie shape with a pinch and a curled-up brim.

 

[Frankie Lamb]

Post it, and they will come running

Thanks Mr.E-Train:
That's the one. And as a kind of side note; I finally found a hat that didn't look good on "The Chairman."

Here's a better shot.

I just finished T-MEN (1947) on Classic Cinema Online
here is a thin ribbon worn by Charles McGraw with Dennis O'Keefe.

That was FUNNY! Sherry agreed with you Chief!

 

[Rats Riley]

OK so I thought it necessary to bump this back into circulation for folks to view. Just look at those great screen captures of Mr. Stewart!

I've always wondered what that hat was, exactly. It appeared a little satin-like to be an Open Road, unless it was a high-end one.

Thin ribbons were for cops in The Grapes of Wrath

The contrasting ribbon and binding really make those stand out. Very sharp.
