Here Comes the Navy & Libeled Lady icons; Cagney wallpapers

[jordannamorgan]

My monthly random assortment of icons should be posted soon. In the meantime, here are two movie-specific batches: twelve from Here Comes the Navy (1934), and fourteen from Libeled Lady (1936). The latter are by request; I apologize for taking so long, and that the quality of them is not nearly as good as I'd like. It was actually quite hard to dig up pictures from the movie, and those I did find were not exactly ideal for icon-making. However, I do have some screencaps for the request of Rear Window, which I will also get to when I can. :)

While I'm posting, here are three wallpapers I posted at jamescagney in honor of Jimmy Cagney's birthday a couple of weeks ago.

The "Armed and Dangerous" is my favourite. *grin*

[jordannamorgan]

*g* I obviously had some fun with the coloring on those. They seemed unusually easy to colorize. (Maybe because with all the battleship-gray surroundings, the backgrounds didn't need any work!)

True, true. You did a great job on the colouring on all of them, but for some reason this one stuck out because it looks just enough like it's a hand-tinted photo to really give it a nostalgic post-card feel. I love it. Sailor hat notwithstanding, I may break down and use it. :-p

I really went berserk capturing that movie. You have the slightly purged version after I cleared out the blurry ones. :-p

Hey, don't knock sailor hats. :Þ

I have a special technique for giving colorized images a vintage tint. Of course, it also helps disguise the fact if a coloring job looks just a little off. ;)

I need to watch "Here Comes the Navy" again, but I taped my copy during a thunderstorm when there was a lot of breaking-up and pixelating on the cable company's end. It's quite watchable, but irritating. So I wait patiently for TCM to show it again... *gives "Summer Under the People-I-Don't-Care-About" a vicious kick*

Awww... My mom said she was disappointed in the Summer Under the Something herself, although my sister found some stuff that interested her. Oh well. It seems to have rounds of greatness and then dull times, doesn't it?

Well, I don't like having whole 24-hour periods (if not a lot longer) of later-era movies and/or people I don't like. At least there's more variety day-by-day in the usual scheduling. Being intensely a creature of habit, I'm also annoyed by the interference with weekly slots like TCM Underground and the Saturday mysteries.

I just found out there will be a Vincent Price day, with a couple of movies I've been waiting actually a few years for. Otherwise, it doesn't look like they're going to showcase *anyone* I'd find worth watching. (No Jimmy obviously, and not even Bogart. I can't imagine who they *are* going to fill 31 days with.)

*swoon*

Okay, now, don't let word of this work back to my cousin the Marine, but I am a seeerious sucker for a man in a Navy uniform. James and Frank both in Navy uniforms? *dies of wibble overdose*

Hah! *makes a note for future use*

*giggle* They are indeed truly Adorable, sitting around on top of some great big guns... ;)

You might have enjoyed it back when we had a Navy base here, and "Squids" were a common sight around town. *g*

#2 and #12 are my favs! The Armed and Dangerous is just perfect!

[jordannamorgan]

:D Thanks!

Yay! Thank you for the Libeled Lady icons - they're super cute!!

[jordannamorgan]

You're quite welcome! I had hoped to find better quality images than I did, but I worked with what I had. :)
