The film poster
They enter.
Kendal was leading the way in outdoor Sasha photo shoots while we were still innocent of the pull of the these dolls. Her blog, which you can find on my side bar under Kendal's Sasha Brood, if you don't already know it, is a feast for Sasha loving eyes. But be warned , you'd best get yourself a drink and something to munch on before you venture over there because you'll be there a good while unable to tear yourself away from her fabulous photos.
Many thanks to Kendal for sending me these photos to share.

What a delightful and so very kind surprise to see this here especially as I feel very guilty neglecting my blog for so long through ongoing illness.
ReplyDeleteIt was your mention of your next CnS theme 'The Evacuees' that spurred me on to send these few photos.
Hoping that I might be well enough by then to attend your special Sasha Fun 2020 day and get me meet some of my old friends again.
Sasha love and thanks Denise. xx
It was generous of you to send the photos Kendal and allow me to use them.
DeleteIt would be lovely if you are well enough to travel down to attend next year, lets hope your 2020 is a healthy one Hugs Dee xx
Many thanks indeed for your better health 2020 wishes. Indeed I would be thrilled if I could make it down to your next CnS. Keeping my fingers crossed.
DeleteI'll keep mine crossed too :)
DeleteMy heavens Dee, now we're going back, I feel like I'm in a time warp! Love the poster and the photos . . . those old trunks brought back memories (we had two like the one in the middle) . . . RANK certainly did bring out some golden oldies. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks to Kendal and big hugs,

Don't you just those old films, I was raised on them, sitting with my siblings and mother on a Satureday and Sunday afternoon watching them.
DeleteI just love those trunks, always wanted one when I was younger but alas it never happened. Hugs xx
Always been a big movie buff Dee, love the old black and whites dramas (something the British always do so well even now, but of course in colour), and the old musicals too.
DeleteUnfortunately the trunks disappeard some time back, I think my mother gave them away, like most of the things I wish she had held on to. :(
Alas that is the problem with mothers , they always get rid of things that when you are an adult you wish they'd kept! If only we knew when we were younger just what we'd want to keep from the family later or even better if our parents had been hoarders! lol
DeleteMy mum threw out my three foot high pile of american marvel comics, which I'd collect through the sixties!!
Our school trunks too were similar to that one in the middle.
DeleteMaybe they were the standard size allowed for children going to school.
DeleteFabulous as always!
ReplyDeleteShe is, isn't she. Just wonderful photos and how she managed to avoid people walking into her shots!
DeleteAh, those wonderful old British , black and white films! Thank you both, Kendal and Dee, for the reminder of gentler films of the past.
ReplyDeleteWe just love a good old black and white film here! A matter of life and death, Hobson's choice the list is endless and everyone a gem!
DeleteThose were the days of golden cinema :)
Great photos Kendal! I remember this poster, and many others like it from my youth when, in my first job, I worked for Rank Film Distributors in Wardour Street in Soho....and part of my job was to keep track of where all the films were going and to supply the people with posters, stills photos of the film etc. I used to love watching all those old films, well I still do really!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the photos, Dee, it brought back some nice memories for me!

What a coinsidence Sharon , My mother worked for Rank in London, back in the fifties cutting the films and splicing them back together! Not sure why and it's too long ago for me to remember lol.
DeletePaul's dad used to work for Humphreys Labs which developed the films for the cinemas and tv, back in the sixties and seventies, we had a reel of film somewhere of the Beatles up on the roof of a building round the back of Saville row and they caused all the traffic to stop due to all the people listening and getting in the way!
Those were the days ! Glad to spark a memory or two, for all of us ;) xx
Oh wow, what a coincidence Dee! We used to have the splicing equipment but most of that went out to the Denham Studios to be done if I remember rightly. But we still had loads of those round metal tins containing film footage all over the office. This was the time when they used to be sent out to cinemas all over the world, to be shown and then they'd have to be booked back in again, invoiced for etc, which was all part of my first job!!!
Deletexx
Isn't it! And especially that you know about the splicing equipment etc. It's a small old world really xxxx
