Noir of the Week: Elevator to the Gallows (Ascenseur pour l’echafaud 1958)

According to myself this is a great movie (by Louis Malle) with a great music score (Miles Davis). As if that wasn't enough this version of the movie poster is an extraordinary one. Does anyone have the name of the poster artist?

Movie: What happened to Indiana Jones when the submarine went down?

I guess hardly anyone has managed not to hear that there's a new Indiana Jones movie out. Perhaps you've even seen. I haven't. But I remember seeing the first one in 1981 and ever since I have wondered: "What happened to Indiana Jones when the submarine went down?" (dead link) Evidently I wasn't alone. Look below Click link above and find out what happened.

Postcards: Welcome to Sweden


'Stadsparkens Restaurant, Kalmar, Sweden, 1960s

'It's Midsummer's Eve here in Sweden. All Swedes are not dancing around the maypole in folk costumes. A peaceful dinner for two in a nice spot is sometimes preferred by some.
The vintage postcard above is from Ultra Swank's post "Welcome to Sweden".
Please notice the table flags.

Illustration/Vintage Photographs: Diableries

So you thought Viewmaster was first? Well, think again!






"Diableries are wonderful examples of the fascination for death in 19th Century photography and made with a lot of imagination and humor. Death in photography is seen in many different ways but here we see the subject in a less serious interpretation."

Children's books: The Little Pig who Stayed at Home

"This little pig very much wanted to go with his brother, but as he was so mischievous that he could not be trusted far away, his mother made him stay at home, and told him to keep a good fire while she went out to the miller's to buy some flour. But as soon as he was alone, instead of learning his lessons, he began to tease the poor cat. Then he got the bellows, and cut the leather with a knife, so as to see where the wind came from: and when he could not find this out, he began to cry. After this he broke all his brother's toys; he forced the drum-stick through the drum, he tore off the tail from the kite, and then pulled off the horse's head. And then he went to the cupboard and ate the jam. When Mrs. Pig came home, she sat down by the fire, and being very tired, she soon fell asleep. No sooner had she done so, than this bad little pig got a long handkerchief and tied her in her chair. But soon she awoke and found out all the mischief that he had been doing. She saw at once the damage that he had done to his brother's playthings. So she quickly brought out her thickest and heaviest birch, and gave this naughty little pig such a beating as he did not forget for a long time." - THE END
