Claude Rains between takes on the set of Deception (1946)

Actor Claude Rains — in costume, dressed in a black tuxedo sans jacket — captured facing the camera while perched on a wooden stool, left foot raised, right on the floor, his hands resting on the top of a stair rail, the steps out of view, an orchestra seated behind him, in a full-length black-and-white shot taken from beneath during a break from filming on the set of Deception (1946)

i honestly don't think this is bad casting but considering fred explicitly stated that he didn't want a film made out of his life, i struggle to find this movie worth supporting, even if it would help spread the films of fred (and ginger) to a younger audience

Ginger was not only Fred's dance partner, she was also one of the best actresses of her era. And Astaire "didn't want his life story depicted on screen," says his widow, which makes it a non-starter for true Fred & Ginger fans. So, who is this film for? www.thewrap.com/industry-new... #FilmSky

Farewell to costume designer Bob Mackie, a designer of spectacular gowns for great divas, but also the creator of perhaps the greatest costume sight gag in history.

Don’t know much about costume design but I do know that Bob Mackie’s work on The Carol Burnett show was part of the comedy and contributed to the laughs. Rest In Peace.
