One Dress a Day Challenge

October: Black Redux

Chinatown / Faye Dunaway as Evelyn Mulwray

This is quite an attractive dress, but between the dim lighting and the fact that Evelyn is mostly in close-up shots in the scenes where it appears, we only really get a glimpse of it onscreen. Luckily, it has been auctioned, so we have some very good display photos. Here's the description from the auction site: "Black silk jersey day dress, fitted bodice, short sleeves, panels with hand fagoting; ankle-length skirt ornamented with self covered buttons; self covered belt with black and grey enameled buckle."

Evelyn wears the dress with a pearl necklace, a pair of gold bracelets, and a watch. I've included a close-up of the belt buckle. You can also see how the white trim is attached with a spiraling stitch in gold.

Gittes: Mulvihill, what are you doin' here?

Mulvihill: They shut my water off. What's it to ya?

Gittes: How'd y'find out a bout it? Y'don't drink it; y'don't take a bath in it; they wrote'cha a letter--but then y'd have to be able to read.

Mulvihill moves in on Gittes doing his best to look intimidating.

Russ Yelburton, Claude Mulvihill, JJ "Jake" Gittes

Gittes: Relax Mulvihill, glad to see ya'. To Yelburton: Y'know Claude Mulvahill here?

Yelburton: Well I hope so, he's working for us.

Gittes: Doing what?

Yelburton: Well, frankly there've been some threats to blow up the city reservoirs.

Gittes: Any particular reason?

Yelburton: Well it's this darn drought; we've had to ration water in the valley and the farmers are desperate--but what can we do? The rest of the city needs drinking water.

Gittes: Well, you're in luck Mr. Yelburton.

Yelburton: How's that?

Gittes: When Mulvihill here was sheriff of Ventura County the rum runners landed hundreds of tons of booze on the beach and never lost a drop; he oughta' be able to hold on to your water for ya'!

thanks @thehoneybeet for tagging me for COMFORT FILM. sadly this made me realize how rarely i re-watch my comfort films these days!

Annie (1982) THE movie i have seen probably more than any other in my life. I saw it in the theater when I was [age redacted], promptly decided I would move to NYC one day (AND I DID), told everyone I was an orphan, had extremely gay feelings about Pepper, was afraid to accidentally swallow bathtub water for my entire childhood due to fear of imbibing gin.
