A gay man of a certain age and a certain sensibility. I like photos of movie stars and scenes from movies of the 1930s, 40s & 50s, but also photos of more ‘ordinary’ people and situations from that time. I used to post vintage physique/beefcake photos from the same period, but I’ve posted hundreds of them & have little interest in posting any more (and I can’t find many good ones that I haven’t already posted). If you came here looking for that type of material, the 2010 Archive is where you’ll find it. NOTE: Obviously, I don’t have the copyright to any of these photos. They’re just what I find on the internet and on the Tumblr dashboard. I’ll always credit the photographer or the studio and give the source if I have that information.Tumblr (3.0; @wehadfacesthen)http://wehadfacesthen.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c11f0a04d2504724abd3036fec4f6fb1/tumblr_mn7uzqiPbL1qazanuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Gaby Rogers</strong> in <em>Kiss Me Deadly</em> (Robert Aldrich, 1955)</p>http://wehadfacesthen.tumblr.com/post/51090620029http://wehadfacesthen.tumblr.com/post/51090620029Wed, 22 May 2013 13:16:38 -0700vintage1950sfilm noirold hollywoodRobert AldrichGaby Rogersclassic filmclassic hollywood<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/3172fb28d1d7243ca6721caf5866aebb/tumblr_mfiwoeIR071qd48zdo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Ray Milland</strong>, 1930s</p>http://wehadfacesthen.tumblr.com/post/51090076707http://wehadfacesthen.tumblr.com/post/51090076707Wed, 22 May 2013 13:09:23 -0700vintagemovie stars1930sRay Millandold hollywoodfashionmenswearclassic filmclassic hollywoodsmokingcigarettes<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mctpg6RxUL1r500f1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span><em>Frederic Prokosch, 1938</em>, photo by <strong>George Platt Lynes</strong></span></p> <p>via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://cometomebrucelee.tumblr.com/post/51088641673/frederic-prokosch-1938-photo-by-george-platt" target="_blank">cometomebrucelee</a></p>http://wehadfacesthen.tumblr.com/post/51089327686http://wehadfacesthen.tumblr.com/post/51089327686Wed, 22 May 2013 12:59:24 -0700vintagephotography1930sGeorge Platt Lynesblack and whitegaymen<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/037993797ce19b1399acdaa308241ae9/tumblr_mn6wuroVAj1qazanuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Marcello Mastroianni</strong> and <strong>Anita Ekberg</strong> in <em>La Dolce Vita</em> (Federico Fellini, 1960)</p>http://wehadfacesthen.tumblr.com/post/51057503498http://wehadfacesthen.tumblr.com/post/51057503498Wed, 22 May 2013 00:59:15 -0700vintagemovie stars1960sAnita EkbergMarcello Mastroianniclassic filmFederico Fellinifashionold hollywoodclassic hollywood<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e366e6d7fb34d357425c8add642a4873/tumblr_mn6vdltCMj1qhgogbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><em>Self-portrait with camera</em>, 1950, photo by <strong>Peter Keetman</strong></p> <p>via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://inneroptics.tumblr.com/post/51056572393" target="_blank">inneroptics</a></p>http://wehadfacesthen.tumblr.com/post/51057125252http://wehadfacesthen.tumblr.com/post/51057125252Wed, 22 May 2013 00:46:00 -0700vintagephotography1950sPeter Keetmanblack and whitecameras<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/58af19a8126b1e005cda1668b27acf23/tumblr_mn604oisSw1qazanuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Anita Louise</strong> in<em> A Midsummer Night’s Dream</em> (Max Reinhardt and William Dieterle, 1935)</p>http://wehadfacesthen.tumblr.com/post/51010188269http://wehadfacesthen.tumblr.com/post/51010188269Tue, 21 May 2013 13:12:24 -0700vintage1930sclassic filmold hollywoodclassic hollywoodShakespeareA Midsummer Night's DreamMGMAnita Louise<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d8f7ea8110502dd5051b9b4573aa0e13/tumblr_mhw3js7fui1qcwhbgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://sisterwolf.tumblr.com/post/42568011680/furs-and-masks" target="_blank">sisterwolf</a>:</p> <p>Furs and Masks</p>http://wehadfacesthen.tumblr.com/post/51009788381http://wehadfacesthen.tumblr.com/post/51009788381Tue, 21 May 2013 13:07:02 -0700vintagefashion1950sfurmaskswomenphotographyblack and white1940s<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/13268fd5ef54907d150a53959f4e7930/tumblr_mmtm7bEObd1qkuou9o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Tony Curtis</strong><span>, 1957, New York City</span></p> <p>via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://theniftyfifties.tumblr.com/post/50976400915/music-books-designer-fashion-clothes-sale-photography-he" target="_blank">theniftyfifties</a></p>http://wehadfacesthen.tumblr.com/post/50977570304http://wehadfacesthen.tumblr.com/post/50977570304Tue, 21 May 2013 01:21:57 -0700vintagemovie stars1950sTony Curtisold hollywoodclassic filmclassic hollywood<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4c64aa28a8ca061a4c7e9689c1367ad0/tumblr_mmwxfc9rVC1r9mqnoo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Bette Davis</strong> in <em>Now, Voyager</em> (Irving Rapper, 1942)</p>http://wehadfacesthen.tumblr.com/post/50977508572http://wehadfacesthen.tumblr.com/post/50977508572Tue, 21 May 2013 01:19:41 -0700vintagemovie stars1940sBette Davisold hollywoodclassic filmclassic hollywood<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/9ce26021824194d74b813e9acd6b37b3/tumblr_mn52tkoG3x1qazanuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Birthday Remembrance:  <strong>Robert Montgomery </strong> (21 May 1904 - 27 September 1981).
