Ann Dvorak in Love is a Racket, I love leg fetishism in old movies so much! It feels so quaint!

unfortunately i Do feel better when i clean my living space and eat enough fruits and veggies and go outside and generally remember i am a mammal :| real pity that knowing this does not make it easier to do those things

“The very best screenplay I was ever sent was `Double Indemnity.’ It’s brilliant, but what’s amazing is that not one word was changed while we were shooting. Billy had it all there, and I mean all - everything you see on the screen was in the script. The moves, the business, the atmosphere, all written. When I mention `atmosphere’ in `Double Indemnity’ - that gloomy, horrible house the Dietrichsons lived in, the slit of sunlight slicing through those heavy drapes - you could smell that death was in the air, you understood why she wanted to get out of there, away, no matter how. And for an actress, let me say that the way those sets were lit, the house, Walter’s apartment, those dark shadows, those slices of harsh light at strange angles -all that helped my performance.” — Barbara Stanwyck

Now that all the polls are out, I finished adding all the films and here's the complete list of the movies submitted as propaganda for @hotvintagepoll :

letterboxd.com

Vintage ladies propaganda

The movies listed for the hot vintage ladies poll Short disclaimer: the movies were submitted and not all checked and might be offensive (es

There are 946 movies on the list, but there were some I could not find on letterboxd that are missing (sorry).

On browser mode/the computer you can Control F to find a specific actress. On mobile or browser you can sort by language, genre, date, etc.

Letterboxd tells you when applicable where you can stream/rent/buy the film as well! (This is not an ad for letterboxd I swear)

Anyone can dm me if there are any mistakes and I'll fix them asap!

I'll share the disclaimer again just in case: these movies are chosen by whoever submitted them and do not mean they are suggested by @hotvintagepoll. I tried to put warnings for really offensive elements on the movies I've seen/could think of but I'm definitely forgetting some and will gladly add warnings on movies that need them (dm me for anything I should add)!

Happy watching!

Norma Shearer (1930s)
