Men Women and Clothes - Fashions in Faces and Figures - Part Two

How fashion dictates body shape and facial decoration. In this episode of the fashion history series, Doris Langley Moore explores the odd correlation between the amount of facial hair on men and trends in covering up in women's fashion. We also get to see Benny Hill in various states of hirsuteness, and a young Vanessa Redgrave demonstrates early 20th-century use of face powder. Jeremy Hawk, the third hirsute gentleman appearing with Benny Hill and Ron Moody, was a prolific actor who worked as straight man for Benny Hill, hosted the long-running 'Criss Cross Quiz' programme, appeared in West End comedies for almost 50 years, and made guest appearances in '2point4 Children' alongside his daughter, Belinda Lang. Appearing in this series are: Romary Bain Sir Basil Bartlett Lady Rose Bligh Sally Charlton Elizabeth Cruft Miles Eason Judy Harris Camilla Hasse Lady Moore-Hastings Jeremy Hawk Jeanne Heal Christine Hopkins Robert Kennedy Jane Kentish Sara Kentish Moiya Kenward Marghanita Laski Mary Malcolm Ron Moody Vanessa Redgrave John Reed Irene Worth Doris Langley Moore FIRST BROADCAST: 5 May 1957 Part One: www.youtube.com This film footage is from the Archive Collection held by the Alexandra Palace Television Society. www.apts.org.uk ~ APTS ~ Preserving the televisual past for the digital future
