Publisher: Collins Design
Description: Selected as America`s Funniest Movie by the American Film Institute, `Some Like it Hot` remains an undisputed classic fifty years after its release, as it continues to capture three of American culture`s great preoccupations-jazz, gangsters, and Marilyn Monroe. `The Official 50th Anniversary Companion` details the history of this side-splitting farce from its roots as an obscure 1951 German film to its Hollywood conception, where Billy Wilder and I.A.L.

As well as previously unpublished images, posters, and documents from the MGM archives, this book includes selections from the screenplay, casting notes, on-set production anecdotes, and location shots from the fabled Del Coronado in San Diego (doubling for Florida).

Her husband, Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan (1833–1911), played a central role in some of the most significant civil rights decisions of his era, including his lone dissenting opinion in Plessy v. Ferguson , the infamous case that endorsed separate but equal segregation. And for fifty-seven years hewas married to a woman who was busy making a mental record of their eventful lives. After Justice Harlan’s death in 1911, Malvina wrote Some Memories of a Long Life, 1854–1911 , as a testament to her husband’s accomplishments and to her own. The memoir begins with Malvina, the daughter of passionate abolitionists, becoming the teenage bride of John Marshall Harlan, whose family owned more than a dozen slaves.

Some Things Are Scary : No Matter How Old You Are

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comWhen cartoonist Jules Feiffer was little, he thought parents were scary. Florence Parry Heide`s main fear was that she`d never learn how to be a real life grownup. (She never did, she says.) So, years later, these two star creators of children`s books have teamed up to confront the things that go bump in the night (or day) in the splendid picture book Some Things Are Scary . This litany of frightfully familiar scenarios, brilliantly illustrated with Feiffer`s scritchy, expressive cartoons, ranges from stepping on something squishy when you`re in your bare feet to getting a shot to discovering that your hamster cage is empty. The encompassing fleshy arms of the woman in the depiction of `getting hugged by someone you don`t like isscary` are positively smothering to behold. The rapidly moving arms (all seven of them) of the boy in `telling a lie is scary` image perfectly evokes the scittery discomfort of fibbing. Feiffer`s distorted perspectives on the things… [detailed...]

Some Wore Bobby Sox : The Emergence of Teenage Girls` Culture, 1920-1945 (Girls` History and Culture)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Images of teenage girls in poodle skirts dominated American popular culture on the 1950`s. But as Kelly Schrum shows, teenage girls were swooning over pop idols and using their allowances to buy the latest fashions well beforehand. After World War I, a teenage identity arose in the US, as well as a consumer culture geared toward it. From fashion and beauty to music and movies, high school girls both consumed and influenced what manufacturers, marketers, and retailers offered to them.Examining both national trends and individual lives, Schrum looks at the relationship between the power of consumer culture and the ability of girls to selectively accept, reject, and appropriate consumer goods. Lavishly illustrated with images from advertisements, catalogs, and high school year books, Some Wore Bobby Sox is a unique and fascinating cultural history of teenage girl culture in the middle of the century.

Similarities between the two go far beyond coincidence. They think alike, look alike, and even share facial scars. Their lives are so intertwined that they appear to be one. Half of this equation, Jeffrey J. Keene, is a present-day Assistant Fire Chief in affluent Westport, Connecticut. The other half, John B. Gordon, Confederate General, Army of Northern Virginia, died January 9, 1904.
