Some of most impressive headgear ever...and yet...

I *love* the headgear shown in this film, so many elaborate pieces worn throughout!

And yet there were a couple places where headgear was glaringly absent. Such as the parachuting scene...none of the parachutists wore crash helmets. And the building scene with the giant drywall mounting machine (I *love* that machine, I want one)...none of the workers were wearing hardhats of any kind. OK I know it wasn't drywall they were mounting....just havin' a bit of fun at the film's expense. 😀 Still, unless men of the future have developed much thicker skulls there would always be the danger of being struck on the noggin by falling debris, tools, or whatever.

I did notice an overall lack of concern with safety in the future, or at least in that future people don't have a fear of heights. Like on the large aircraft flying to save Cabal, two men are standing next to a rail about waist high, with no concern about falling. A little turbulence and off you go. And the young girl, playing on a balcony many stories up...no concern their either.

Having worked a couple places where safety was mandatory, I was wondering about the scenes with all the gigantic machinery and the workers meandering about. One slip and that would be all she wrote.

And the glass/acrylic/whatever desk that Massey is sitting behind, while wearing a toga with a kilt. I guess in the future, no one is concerned about using a desk that lacks a "modesty shield". Yikes!

As I said, just havin' a little fun. I absolutely adore this film and have watched it many, many times.

Although I still find it kinda creepy seeing Raymond Massey smiling...
