Rebellious Daughters (1938) EXPLOITATION 

How does "dress up" indicate innocence?

Elaine Daprano me to but today’s time no one cares how we dress every one dresses as if they just got out of bed

For heaven's sake, BE YOURSELF! If I were a woman, I'd wear whatever I like. Why should we let ourselves be dictated to by other's stupidity? When you're old, nobody will give you a reward for having been a conformist.

@@robertalenrichter very well said, I tip my hat to ya 🎩👍

@@xonothra8948 Thank you!

Nobody's stopping you.

Why not try making them!

You could probably make patterns of your own or find vintage ones

In the ‘70’s I’d find some of these clothes in the vintage shops.

Old estate sales, maybe people have clothes in trunks in the attic. I wish I kept my moms stuff, she had some beautiful dresses we girls would play dress up in.

1940s fashion was beautiful, imo.

Once upon a time they were the hip generation jazz and all 😅

Are used to try to dress up all the time especially when I’m not working on the weekends I would wear in the summer time I would beautiful maxi dress or something beautiful but comfortable in the first Thing people would say if I’m sitting up in the house dressed up where you going? You don’t have to be going anywhere to want to look nice.

You mean almost 90 years old.

I prefer cursing.

spoiler alert? 😉

Hooray for, and only in Hollywood.

😂😂😂😂😂

Those days they never showed gruesome bloodied make up. I never knew accidents could result in lot of blood loss,cause they never showed it on TV or movies,or news

As do i when injured ha ha

@@alisonbarratt3772 Ha! lol

I remember going to the University of California Berkeley campuses at about that age to all the parties. My GOD I survived. LOL 😆🎉

though it's too bad no one invites me to any parties. But do I have any regrets?! No. I do not want to get infected with COVID-19. I have never been invited to any parties anyway. Ppl are suffering from Bipolar Disorder and drug addiction. Hahaha.

fan funny you really don't heard about the drug addiction the president was going to address.

You're right Susie Q oh, those were at the time! When we went to concert oh, and the lights went down, everybody lit up and you just passed a j.... t around NO BOGARTING!! WHERE WAS THE VIRUS THEN?lol👽👽👽

@@michaelsnider8611 😂😂😂😂😂💘🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you, fascinating facts. But this film was 1938, and perhaps during WW2 rationing extended to cotton ... or not.

Girl preach. I work in historic fashion and the hand of the fabric is entirely different, you’re exactly right. Today’s variety of working looms and fabric type and weave pale in comparison to that of pre-WWII.

Doris Brinkerhoff & BB: That's really fascinating. It never occurred to me that, yes, of course the fabric would be different pre WWII and afterwards. What other differences do you notice? What about synthetics? Or new sources of fabrics like hemp and bamboo? How do they compare?

I am fortunate to be able to sew my own clothes, and source good cottons, linens, and silk when I can splurge. I cannot stand the feel 0f the fabric used for fast fashion, not to mention the fit!

Spelling was better then, too.

Nancy Sanders Marjorie Reynolds was in Holiday Inn with Bing Crosby. Also played the wife in the TV sitcom "Life Of Riley ", with William Bendix. Actor Dane Clark, did not start in movies until early 40s. He is not in this film.

was she in Easter Parade or are you confusing Judy Garland with her?

@@mysecondemailatl No, Easter Parade is one of the songs Crosby sang to her in Holiday Inn.

@@melodysledgister2468 thanks for the info

Haha. But, aren't they cute?

@@LA_HA Absolutely!

Parents have changed a lot! They let their kids do whatever they want, hence, Antifa.

I think it went over my head too... ? lol I don't get it

HC Dags. I didn't get it either....

Can someone please explain the shark joke I'm a little slow LoL

Looks like the OP only knows this was standard practice to use double meanings to get certain things by the censors but, doesn't know the exact meaning; is trolling; or simply stopped watching the thread questions. haha

No matter how many times I read it I can’t see anything in that line that’s something the censors would have a problem with. That hat looks like a Smurf hat.

What you’re missing is that kids weren’t that emotional in those days either.

@@johnmolinari2384 Uhhh, I don't think so.

Well, some people did, but it was very common to ignore one's feelings. Those were still the days of "Children should be seen and not heard."

@@melodysledgister2468 Not necessarily. Older generations just weren't always hung up in their feelings because they had real world things to worry about and stuff to do. They didn't have long years of parental leisure time given to young adults now. They had to grow up much sooner. They didn't have time to be a child well into their 20s and 30s.

It's a real deep movie ain't it?

That's because actual parents view themselves as such and are far less tolerant to nonsense. The blonde's mother wasn't interested in being a good mom, didn't care about her daughter, and was pretty much a selfish woman; her father was no better and it made her bitter and angry. It's great the brunette's sister stood by her and her father came through at the end. They actually loved her

She was a lousy mother!

AND, she HAS GOT to be 30...

@@christinemccloskey7429 She was also a lousy actress.

I back talked my Mom when I was a young teen, in front of my Grandpa, ( WW11) He got aholed of me so fast by the hairs on the back of my neck, & walked me right back to apologize! Lol Was so mad then, Loved him all the more when I got a little maturity! Lol

This overaged flibbertigibbet narcissist mother (who may hypocritically be aiming for a seaside affair) deserves that when she's old, her daughter leaves her wholly alone.

I saw it coming in some way when he said he got the car in her named stopped with no gas, no flat tire and near a ravine.

Haha. Did you see the way that pack of broads attacked it when the couple left? Must've been really good. haha

@@LA_HA Ravenous!

@@poopypants814 Was envious. Not gonna lie. hahaha

Wasn't that box of chocolates the size it should be?

@@roderickfernandez8554 If you've ever been to See's Candies or any other store that sells boxes of chocolate, they're not in a box that big. Hmm... Wait a sec. It just occurred to me... If you get a 2lb box from See's or other chocolate or candy shop, they typically have a deeper box for two levels of candies. So, it's possible the candy shop in the movie had wider, longer boxes instead of higher boxes for more than 1lb. And, if you're a guy dating someone who lives in a women's hotel, sorority house, or had siblings at home, it would be typical to give her a large box to share with everyone. My mother and sisters used to share the boxes of chocolate they got as gifts with the family. I think that accounts for it. Ay, thank you for bringing it up again. haha

The love that protects and wants the best for his daughter.

If a lizard were to wear a belt with a buckle the buckle would be dragging on the ground for sure!! Funny

Women aren’t as interested in marrying their men either nowadays. It’s a different era. Marriage is no longer valued as much. And why should it be I suppose. At least divorce rates will plummet.

I believe that women today especially young women, an man, they want to see how many notches they can put on their bed post.

@@michaelsnider8611 I guess if it is good for men to do it then it is just as good for women also.

The days are gone when men can be so demanding. This is why men today don't understand they can take what they want.

Don't you guys get it, women are the backbone of any relationship, especially a good one.

My mom would have laughed and slap me back she was a swell mom

@Angel Bulldog Exactly

Norma Desmond from Sunset Boulevard just turned 40 in the movie and was a washed out old has been.

@@croswellianprincess3590 But, we have to remember that 40 then isn't the same as 40 now. Especially when people regularly married at 16-20 and died at 50-60

@@LA_HA yes. When my children were little my mother picked my children every now and again and remarked how many other grandmothers picked up their grandchildren. I felt kinda awful telling her those weren’t the grandmothers but the moms.

@@croswellianprincess3590 That occurs both ways now, too. We have Boomers who have first, second, and even third wave sets of children due to remarrying and having children in multiple generations. And we have very young teens having kids and their mothers (the grandmothers) stepping in to help or completely raise them. It's a bit out of whack in the 21st century

Right you are

Actually, yes, but those were amazing, too. People took pride in the way they looked, especially in public. Now? Not so much. Now, it's about comfort, not style. Face it, in comparison, the millennium is the age of slobs. haha

Omg I found the smurf!

Amen.

Another amen to that

Same here, i know exactly what you mean..

It was different back then girls weren’t so self absorbed and spoiled as today. And no back talk!

Lol, I'm still scratching my head at this one.

They are probably in their 20s. All these old films, the teens look and are much older. I liked the fashion back then, but the hairstyles not so much ( and they looked like a lot of work, back then many went to the “beauty parlor” every week, ugh)

That's because, back then, people were adults at 16, 18, and 20. They had to be. The childhood years a person has in contemporary times is much, much longer with fewer expectations on them. A lot of people don't reach adulthood in the same way until late their 20s and 30s, sometimes in their 40s. The fashion reflects this individually and societally
