My beautiful cousin

Thank you for pointing out the projection screen. I fully acknowledge that they were used a lot in those times in fact I teach kids about the concept in filmmaking class. But for the longest time I struggled trying to comprehend the depth of field for that one shot with the model set. Someone else mentioned a vehicle driving the base of the stocking around back and forth so I couldn’t visualize it. But a projection helps clarify things a lot more now. That just goes to show how realistic the one shot looked. Im 34 and I study film and I still couldn’t figure it out so thank you lol

He was once the King of Hollywood. may he rest in peace.

Stfu you're destroying the mystery

loved him w/Greta Garbo in Mata Hari (1931)

Best tornado I've seen in a movie

That cyclone is pure nightmare fuel. 🌪️

I watch new movies and the computer effects suck compared to using props

To say technology wasn’t as advanced back then, that was really dope! 🔥

This tornado beats anything out of Twister. It just can’t be beat by the CGI crap. Having actually been in a tornado, this is top notch. Very impressive.

REALLY NOT sure why everyone refers to it as a stocking. It was a tube, likely of wire mesh, wider at the top, narrower at the bottom, and it was wrapped in muslin fabric. I know this because I have read accounts of there having to be a person inside the tube, and they had to pass a large needle in and out to make it stay together. It was a curiously dangerous job, because it was dark in the tube and you never knew where the needle was coming back in. They also ran compressed air hoses through it to blow the dust. Which gave the funnel a nice soft blurred effect. The color of the dirt you said was brown. That was as inconsequential, as it was filmed in B/W - then processed in sepia…. It could have been purple. It was whatever they decided looked best on film. You can help me out with this: Buddy Gillespie made another tornado for a TV show in the 70’s before he passed away in 1978. I remember reading an article in TV guide about it. Now - FIND THAT SHOW! It would be awesome to see.

You’re telling me it was all practical, none was done in post?? That’s incredible.

Not even the movie Twister can top that, although I do love that movie.

Gorgeous and never forgotten, dear Ramon!

Still the best and most terrifying movie tornado. Practical effects for the win.

That movie was so ahead of its time

The Wizard of Oz was way ahead of its time, but in a good way.

The clip of Raquel has been carefully edited to remove the part where she says she observed an Adam's apple and a 5 o'clock shadow even the heavy make up couldn't hide. She said that by that stage in life there was no way to "doll it up" anymore. Either that or he didn't have the full clip and didn't research the subject before making the video. Mae West was the most masculine woman I have ever seen trying to look in any way feminine and the first time I saw Mae I had suspicions. Having said that, if explained by a professional I would be happy to accept that Mae was a butch woman parodying womanhood itself and that she suffered from a thyroid condition causing the appearance of an Adam's apple which coincidentally appeared alongside extremely unusual post menopausal facial hair growth, but it's incredibly disingenuous not to present all the information from Raquel.

Looks better than cgi

You should check out the stock footage of the cyclone scene (close up of the farm actually being struck, as well as the close up of the looming funnel) that is CHILLING to see, and would be understandable as to why those scenes were cut...

BASED

That tornado scene actually looks like real tornadoes look. Even the movie Twister can’t top that, and I grew up watching Twister as a kid. What makes it really impressive, is that they created a tornado in 1939, without the information that we have now about tornadoes.

How clever

It’s “African-American”

Absolutely gorgeous well done thank you for this his my idol❤❤❤❤❤

That wind look so strong, I’m surprised that the set didn’t blow away.

400th liker

Still holds up

My dad would be over 100 yrs. Old now (like Mae), he said Mae was a man. But you know more huh? You were born in the 1980’s huh?

This guy is in weird denial.

The door flying away gets me every time😂

i read leftist angry blacks threw it into the river

Lighten up, dude.

How clever

It’s an incredible effect.

The power of cinema

Mae was clearly a man. Not sure why Raquel was the only one who could detect that.

A man! Hollywood probably paid the coroner! Wouldn't have been the first time money was exchanged to keep scandles from the public!

Mae and Bette ruclips.net/video/4i7sXe179zM/видео.htmlsi=-XmQ0M-erSKZcOHP

That’s so funny! No man could be as sexy as she was!!

The twister was recycled for several more MGM films.

This is more realistic than cgi crap .

Talk about creative, wow!! It really came off looking very realistic.

Yes she was a women . She was on the tonite show many times. She was the queen of burlesque. She buried in Queens NY. About 40 feet fron Jackie Robinsons grave.

AI version of real people always look soulless and superficially creepy.

Considering this was 1939, this was very ambitious.

Wizard of oz

Never knew that wow
