80s Style in 1941


When I originally watched this movie in the 80s I didn't notice the fact that they were so inauthentic with the style. But after watching it again in 2015 after all these years the movie about the 40s looks 80s dated. That's unfortunate. The makeup, clothes, hair, especially with Christine Lahti. Her shirts all had shoulder pads in them and very 80s. It was driving me nuts. Oh well, at least Kurt Russell was super cute in this movie.

Truthfully, 80's style took a lot from the 40's. 80's shoulder pads, skirt lengths, silhouettes, etc, were straight out of the 40's. In fashion the old is usually new again at some point.

I thought the costumes in this movie were spot on.
