Imagine if Blade Runner had been made in 1942...
Wowser. This project is from Chet Desmond, and you can obviously chase it to YouTube, but also to a site called Live For Film. So cool.
The only film that's had something of this classic look about it in recent years is Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow -- Jude Law, "Ms. Paltrow," whose first name has utterly vamoosed from my brain at this moment (I just know for sure it's not Pepper), and Angelina Jolie in the small but charismatically pivotal role I wish she'd reprised in another movie...
That one's a lot of fun, and while it's not B&W, it was processed digitally to look as if it was colorized from a B&M master print. Brilliant.
It's cool to know I'm not the only one left in the world who likes classic movies! (Then again, I even like radio...)
And on that note, let's go out with Freddie Mercury paying homage to Metropolis...
