I can never emphasize enough how much I love the city in DICK TRACY (1990).
(Did it even have a name? I don’t think so. It was just “The City”. Oh, I’m talking to myself I guess.)
The view from REAR WINDOW (1954).
Concept paintings by Eyvind Earle for Disney’s LADY AND THE TRAMP (1955).
Quebec painter, Richard Savoie.
THUNDARR THE BARBARIAN backgrounds (and title card).
LOONEY TUNES animation backgrounds. (Most if not all of these will have been done by Philip De Guard and Maurice Noble.)
TV special, THE ROMANCE OF BETTY BOOP (1985).
You could still do so much with the character today. Yet she’s just lying dormant, which saddens me.
Nighttime in the city. A faint drizzle dampens the alleys. Splashes of candy-colored neon imitate daylight. Ghostly silhouettes roam the streets, followed by their own reflections.
