Although this costume is characterised, some might argue encumbered, by such overt femininity, it actually places Frances in a position of power throughout her picnic with John Robie (Cary Grant). During the beats, Frances deduces (if she has not already at the start of their date) that Robie is back to his old tricks as a cat burglar. This assumption is achieved principally by placing him off guard and thus confused and vulnerable. Frances’ harebrained driving seemingly puts them both in danger. Robie, no doubt used to the thrill of the chase in his former line of work is tested by someone he would typically be accustomed to dominating, i.e. a woman. (x)

Hedy Lamarr and actor John Loder photographed just after their wedding in Beverly Hills, May 27 1943. For the double-ring ceremony, Hedy wore a black velvet suit with white blouse, a daisy covered snood, white gloves, black patent leather shoes and bag. Her jewels were pearl earrings and necklace. The bride and groom have postponed their honeymoon until after Hedy finishes The Heavenly Body .

Imagine the courage of that creature! She faced that all the time, and still kept up with everything. As far as the public knew, marvellous, glamorous, exciting, fulfilled. I wasn’t busy being a genius, and I went into it with my eyes pretty well open. But the thing was, she was irresistible!…… In a ‘high’ she could be vile, really hit where it hurt. You wouldn’t recognise her and she would say the cruellest things she could find to say. And would find them, too! Her targets were those closest to her, as though she wanted them out of her way. Jack Merivale about Vivien.

I like Jack Merivale. He seemed like a good guy. Must have been tough living in Larry’s shadow.
