Sackvillesque - CUT WITH THE KITCHEN KNIFE

omg !! My sister is in middle school and they just did the Wizard of Oz as their school musical, she did the set design which was very cute ^^

Anyways, I love this movie because I find the Tin Man relatable, also why’s his name Hickory ;-; And recently I was researching Dorothy Arzner and I think she was close (?) with Billie Burke so that’s cool.

Billie Burke in “The Wizard of Oz” (1939)

“My favorite role was in The Wizard of Oz, directed by the great Victor Fleming, in which I played Glinda, the Good Fairy. I never played such a being on stage, but this role is as close as I have come in motion pictures to the kind of parts I did in the theater.” —Billie Burke

(From With a Feather on My Nose by Billie Burke and Cameron Shipp, 1949)

I watched this 3 times because I was trying to edit it in a funny style in like 9th grade 💀

Anna May Wong and Marlene Dietrich in “Shanghai Express” (1932)

in the most affectionate way possible linda looks like a kid who just woke up their parents in the middle of the night to tell them they just vomited
