This is the supremely sexy and tempting Louise Brooks, on the prowl in Ocala, Florida, one hundred years ago.
Louise was sporting her famous “bob” haircut, a style that was actually popularized in the Roaring Twenties by flapper girl Colleen Moore. Prue’s old friend Vidal Sassoon brought the bob cut back into fashion during the Sixties.
From 1926, It’s the Old Army Game was filmed in various locations. Ocala is of particular interest because that was the hometown of Prue’s late friends Mike O’Neal and his actor brother Patrick. Also, I thought one of my blog followers might be interested in seeing a bit of Ocala as it was so long ago.
Here’s the complete movie, from the year Joe Sinnott was born. W.C. Fields co-stars with Louise.
And here’s the entire record that gets clipped short in the first video. The song ‘The Very Thought of You’ is heard prominently in Casablanca.
