How about tongue, teeth, brains???
Hopefully those were removed!
Who thinks furs with those still attached look good???
If things could be reversed humans in that same condition would make quite an ugly sight draped across some creatures body. But there are some people who are as hairy as the furs depicted.
And you know who you are!!!
My grandmother had one of those furs and it always scared me. I didn't even want to touch it but my brother would make them bite each other.

Those type of furs (they have a name) were very popular w/upper class women in the 1930s and 40s. There are many pics of Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and other high profile ladies wearing them in those days.
shareit was the 1930's filmed in the 1930's.
do i think cars should have seat belts, airbags and safety glass? of course... but i do not expect to see such things in films made before these things were ever developed.
calm down, take a few deep breaths -- you will live through this, i promise.
You gave the perfect response. I'll never understand why some people watch these movies from eighty years ago and compare them to modern day. Should I attribute it to age, lack of education or trolls?
shareAttribute it to people who have been conditioned like trained seals to be outrageously outraged over everything.
sharePerhaps the phrases, "calm down, take a few deep breaths" bear repeating at this point.
It's simply a matter of observing the evolution of social customs, whether concerning relatively unimportant matters of fashion or more elemental ones of treatment of living creatures either human or otherwise, and measuring both our progress and priorities. What was once considered unacceptable - cohabitation without marriage, for example - is now no longer worthy of outrage, while others once not garnering a second thought - again, certain treatment of living creatures, for instance - now merit shock from those previously unaware such things took place.
I'd fear for the day humans lose the capacity for outrage and to look back in distaste at things that were once commonplace. There are too many current indicators of just that happening among those susceptible to becoming "conditioned like trained seals" to abandon compassion for any being deemed unworthy for not conforming to their makeup and values.
Poe! You are...avenged!
My mom had one of those--fox. Made us kids so upset when we found it in a cedar chest. I think of that every time I see one in these old movies--almost daily on TCM lol.
