You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

That's a gorgeous photograph. The highlights have that silvery tone that looks similar to the highlights in nitrate film. I wonder how the photographer did that.

Here's another I like from Shorpy. This falls into the so-odd-it's-cool category.

The woman in black front and center does *not* look happy to be there.

I can't figure out that lady. It looks like she's leaning back. Very odd. I wonder why some of them look so miserable.
