NGR: Seeking movie/photo recommendations of 1950s Manhattan apartments >> Archived Message Posted by Tom in CA on February 15, 2024, 9:04 pm For a doll-related project, I'm compiling images of showplace Manhattan apartments from the 1950s (though apartments from the late 40s to early 60s are also helpful). These images can come from movies, shows, or from any online or book source. They can be contemporaneous depictions (How To Marry a Millionaire), or created retrospectively for period purposes (Mad Men). So any movie, TV show, or book/site recommendation is appreciated. Examples: - Pillow Talk: Doris's apartment; Rock's apartment - Mad Men: Don & Megan's Manhattan apartment - How To Marry a Millionaire: the apartment the trio take over - Black Widow: Ginger Rogers' apartment Any and all help welcome, TSC hivemind.
