More Fredric March icons

[jordannamorgan]

Yes, no one else is interested, but I make them because I like to. Anyway, it's giving me a lot of good practice.


I was often trying for vintage-photo or semi-colorized "lobby card" effects, and some of the results intrigued me. If you take one of these, just comment/credit.








The stills used are from: (1-2) Nothing Sacred; (3) Jealousy; (4) There Goes My Heart; (5) Design for Living; (6-8) The Barretts of Wimpole Street; (9-10) The Eagle and the Hawk.


If you enjoy my work and would like to show appreciation for it, I welcome tips in the form of Dreamwidth Points. (Enter my username "jordannamorgan" as the account you're buying for.)

What?!!! No one is interested??! I just learned about this guy the other day... he's great! (Though I've only seen one movie of his, which is now one of my favorites: The Best Years of our Lives.)

These are wonderful icons.... I took the second to last and the 5th one.

Thanks!

And yes, Fredric March is marvelous. :D It's amazing that he's so little appreciated nowadays, in spite of winning two best-actor Oscars. "Best Years of Our Lives" is pretty much the exact point where he ceased to be a young, staggeringly handsome leading man and became an older, heavier character actor. As a romantic figure in the 1930s, though, he was spectacular.

My tastes being what they are, my personal favorites are two fantasy films: "Death Takes a Holiday" (Death in the guise of a swoon-worthy prince *g*) and "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (the only classic "monster" portrayal ever to win an Oscar). For something more conventional, try "The Dark Angel"--an absolutely beautiful story about hope and love and sacrifice.
