Beachwear, Hats, Sunglasses ... and Maracas

 

What more could I say?

Was he the inspiration?

 

While he was official just Professor of Needlework, Kevin "Illinois" Johnson spent his weekend and vacations chasing down important quilting artifacts from under the noses of the Italian Fascists.

Do you suppose he inspired a later film hero??

Bonus - 

Smug Doug - Smuglas ?

 

You might be wondering why Douglas von Bismarck-Pomfrey has that smug look on his face.

Well, Doug has hyperactive gut bacteria, and one of the world's most rank, foul and poisonous farts has sneaked out, and is slowly wafting towards the photographer. (The sort of fart that would make a slug vomit.)

Bonus - KC3 has cancer, and Martin Rowson of The Guardian is on the ball.

Eternal Sunshine of the Damaged Mind

 

No info on this slide, but the colourful modernist chairs, and the relaxed casual fashions make me think 1950's Canada, Spring Fashions.

Any experts able to confirm?

Bonus - Gunned down and burned by the Nazis: the shocking true story of Bambi

Where's Wally?

 

Wally is there, standing on the beach.

Obviously.

Bonus - 75th Anniversary of Paramount Pictures, in 1987. Now THAT is a lot of talent.

Can you name them all?

Now you can.

All Aboard the DC-7B

 

Nothing written on this slide, but it's easy to tell that this is a Douglas DC-7 aircraft. 

The DC-7B variant was the first long-range variant with higher gross weight and fuel capacity, with most of the added fuel in saddle tanks in enlarged engine nacelles

The mention of  Falcon Super Coach marks this as one for Eastern Air Lines.

Another slide shows this aircraft has the registration N848D, which helps. It later crashed in 1992, while serving as a water-bomber.

Bonus - Oh Dear. RIP Kitten Natividad.

Kitten featured in the film "Up".  No, the Russ Meyer one, not the Disney one.
