UNRELEASED - The Canary




The Canary Murder Case - William Powell who of course is always been a favorite of mine from the classic movies and the Thin Man series who could forget! I saw this dress and the movie popped into my head.




The beautiful Margaret Odell, famous Broadway beauty and ex-Follies girl known as "The Canary", is found murdered in her apartment. She has a number of men in her life, ranging from high society to gangsters, and more than one man visited her apartment on the night she dies. It is Philo Vance's characteristic erudition that leads him to a key clue that allows him to penetrate a very clever alibi and reveal the killer.




This would be something she would wear don't you think? The texture is from a dress from the era of the movie (1927) and so canary! Louise Brooks was the canary :)
