Was a wig ever blonder? Or more out of place?
Ooooh. I get to change my profile! I'm no longer an "Insane psychology post-doctoral intern and old-school geek blogging to avoid working on my job search and heinous paperwork at my internship site."
My DVD of Double Indemnity (1944) has arrived. Wheeeeeeeee!!!
And I didn't know this about the wig:
"The blonde wig that Barbara Stanwyck is wearing throughout the movie was the idea of Billy Wilder. A month into shooting Wilder suddenly realized how bad it looked, but by then it was too late to re-shoot the earlier scenes. To rationalize this mistake, in later interviews Wilder claimed that the bad-looking wig was intentional."
I knew the thing about the apartment door opening the wrong way for dramatic effect, but I'd just heard that Wilder said the wig was intentional.
Noir makes me happy :)
And I made one more big expenditure with all the money I've not yet earned. I ordered a laptop, I ordered a laptop, wheeeeee!!!
