Do you own any Looney Tunes production art?

i’m incredibly fortunate enough to say that I DO!! i own this wonderful photostat model sheet from Porky the Wrestler!

a photostat is essentially the ‘30s equivalent of a photocopy, so it’s not THE actual model sheet drawing, but it was still in the hands of at least one of the animators who worked on the short! if you hold it at a certain angle and get the light to reflect off of it, there are actually some indentations of writing, as if someone was writing on a piece of paper on top of it… and of course the hooves and side snout drawn in marker which aren’t meant to be there (maybe it was a slow work day?)

i actually still haven’t gotten it framed, i need to… but i also just really enjoy being able to hold it in my hands and try and make out the writing indentations on top and also lose my mind at Oh My God Someone In The Tex Avery Unit Touched This At One Point. plus, the material is glossy/has a cardboard sort of feel to it (like a more sturdy printed photograph) so it’s not as delicate as animation paper and gets along fine sitting on my shelf as is HAHA. still, definitely want to find a proper means of displaying it sometime!

Special thanks to @aersidhe for the idea

Beautiful photo showing Jean Pierre Aumont and María Montez at Suresnes, the French region where they lived from 1948 to 1951...

About their home:

The house where Jean-Pierre Aumont, María Montez and Tina Aumont lived in France, was located in Suresnes on the outskirts of Paris, the villa was called "Les Copeaux" and had a three-hectare plot, the views it had were the bois de Boulogne, the Eiffel tower and the city of Paris. This house is where María died and this house was sold by Jean Pierre in 1955 to the town council of that district, the house was demolished and there is currently an elementary school on it that was built in 1967.

In this photo publised in 1950 Cinemonde magazine, number 829, the name of the Villa is incorrect, the villa was called "Les Copeaux" not "Les Coteaux" as was printed here...

🌟I want to give great thanks to @74paris for all this information given about the house. 🌟

I have also other posts under the tag of 1950 where the information displayed (which comes from Getty Images) says that they live in "Saint Cloud", howerver I don't know if "Saint Cloud" is another region or another house; and under the 1953 tag I have other posts of a house or a region called "Rueil-Malmaison", this name it also comes from Getty Images website and Paris Match magazine...

Items recently discovered in the wallet of my late grandfather (1889-1960)

anyways more chinese wikipedia film noir saga, they list stray dog (1949) as a classic noir and high and low (1963) as a neo-noir despite the two being directed by the same man (akira kurosawa) so really i have no choice but to watch both back to back to see if i agree with that designation

‘— the amorphous deliquescence of sentimentality.’

— Dorothy Bussy (née Strachey), Olivia (1949)

Just started reading Olivia and oh man 8 pages in I’m already going crazy going stupid “love has always been the chief business of my life” shut up “nothing ever seemed spontaneously my own” shut UP

L'utilizzo della forza non era prerogativa del solo Mario Scelba

In questo senso vanno studiati alcuni dei drammatici eventi che dal 29 ottobre 1949 al 21 marzo 1950 scuotono il paese, ovvero: dalla strage di Melissa (3 morti, 14 feriti), in Calabria ai morti di Lentella (2), passando per tre fatti di sangue contro contadini nel sud (per un totale di 5 morti e più di 20 feriti) e l’eccidio di Modena del 9 gennaio (6 morti e 51 feriti). <577 Occupazioni di…
