Vintage Century Idle Hour

Separate Tables, Please

Jennifer Passariello Season 2025 Episode 6

Jennifer's working her way through a growing list of classic movies to see what makes them great–or not.  One thing she's learning is that not all classic movies are great.  Who knew?  Anyway, this time around, her interest in Separate Tables began not because it’s a classic (though it is) and not because it’s one of her Dad’s favorite movies (though it is), but because Edith Head designed the dresses Rita Hayworth wore in this 1958 film.  Jennifer's into Edith Head at the moment, so she's going to multi-task:  She's going to see if Separate Tables is amazing AND if Edith Head can teach us anything about our wardrobes.  It’s all coming up, on this episode of the Vintage Century Idle Hour.
