Great movies on fashions of the past with some surprising big "star" appearances. Enjoy watching the marvelous styles, and clothes of the times, and also have fun seeing the different way we lived back then. The houses, cars, stores and the slower place. Most important many of us will see ourselves as we grew up or will be reminded of a time, place or event we had forgotten. Enjoy over and over again. Come join us for over an hour of Fashions Of The Past.

The 1940, Fashion Horizons film stars Mary Martin, Margaret Hayes, newcomer at the time, Ester Fernandez and many others. The film offers us not only fashion but also explores the wonderful Arizona scenery, like the missions and pueblos and breathtaking sunrises. In addition, we also get to see the surrounding areas like the Grand Canyon, Meteor Crater, the Colorado River, Boulder Dam, Lake Mead, Cathedral Rock and much more.

We also get a marvelous look of the Camelback Inn. I have been told by a friend it hasn't changed too much over the years and looks much the same. The fashions are shown in amongst all the areas and activities available at the Camelback Inn and are very lovely, smart and appropriate to the occasion and activity. Makes me want to be there with them wearing all those wonderful clothes. The 19 minutes of the film goes way beyond fashion as it offers lots of great scenery, history and a feel for the people.

The movie is captivating and you will have a smile on your face throughout. A wonderful, 29 minute feel good movie from 1941 talks about the fashions of the future. The movie, Tomorrow Always Comes starts by telling us about a little girl from 1912 who loved to dream about the future and this movie is all about her dream. We then meet Molly (Gloria Willis) telling her friend what her boudoir (bedroom in today's terms) will look like, her closet and her clothes and her dream husband. We then go to Molly's wedding to Bob Brown (Robert Gist) and their lives. Molly and Bob has a little girl. After Molly makes a dress for a party she is hoping to attend she feels the dress isn't good enough and tells her husband she wishes the more expensive materials were more affordable to them and so many others. Molly then tells her daughter it is time for bed as most little girls she wants to hear a story. So Molly tells her a story. She starts telling her daughter about her dreams as a little girl and as she is doing so she realizes those earlier dreams she had about her dream life and husband aren't quite what she has today, but she is so happy that she has found love and contentment with her life and her husband. As Molly tells her daughter the story she and her daughter fall asleep.

The spirit of the Future says he will give her a glimpse of the Future of Fabrics, but she mustn't tell anyone she is from the 1920s. Molly gets to see all the beautiful clothes and materials of the future. The material is Bur-Mil Rayon Fabric made by Burlington Mills. Molly discovers that all the clothes have the Bur-Mil label and the saleswoman (Jane Randolph) tells Molly all about fashions today from negligees to man's suit and also talks about the Burlington
Mills process.

It is so great to watch Molly move from each department in the store in amazement and how she tries so hard not to slip up and mention she is from the 1920s, she has many a close call, with the spirit telling her to be careful.

The movie finishes with a spectacular taping of TV show, which, of course, Molly hasn't a clue what TV is. She is seated up front and says to the lady next to her she wishes her husband was there, when out comes her husband Bob as the Master of ceremonies.

Miss Betty Furness tells us about the wonderful fashion show with Bridal wear and then the trousseau items for the bride. We get to see the different varieties of new form slips, and as the models come in they give Molly a box with one for her.

The movie ends with us seeing Molly and Bob together kissing and then fades back to Molly and her daughter sleeping with Bob coming in to close the window and give his wife a kiss. Of course like all dreams it ends with "and they lived happily ever after"!

The Aristocrats of Fashion (late 1930s) is a ten minute movie that is narrated by Muriel Evans. We get to see some fantastic fashions for sport and evening wear. All of the fashions are made from Bemberg rayon. Some of the models include Francis Goodwin, Ann Rountree, Marjorie Hawthorne, Bette Miller, Helen Dillard and more. Sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

The Girl on the Magazine Cover shows us how professional models (and new automobiles) are photographed. This is a surprisingly excellent film made even better by a very tongue in cheek narrator who shows up at the studio to find out how they make those dames look so good in photographs. (Do Not Expect This To be Politically Correct, After All This Is 1940.) We meet someone who may be the funniest character in a Jam Handy film. The movie runs approximately eight and a half minutes.
