Anita Page in Speedway (1929)
Another post, just for fun and Anita Page related. I recently watched Speedway (1929) because I'm on a 1920s/1930s sports movie kick and that particular film is about auto-racing. Anita Page co-stars as a girl who reluctantly falls in love with a goofy auto-racing heir played by William Haines. Anita's outfits were wonderful so I did a series of screen caps. Here are a few. If you want to see the whole lot, check out my photo set on Flickr.

Of the flappers Anita Page was always my fav. Well, besides Louise Brooks!
I love her hat in the third photo from the bottom!
she is so adorable in that film! if i recall there was a very funny scene where they're in the car and Haines keeps switching hats between them or something. a very silly film, lots of fun and as i said *big sigh* for adorable Anita ;)
Gosh, that outfit!!
PS: I dug out my cloche for the winter, and am wearing it today!
Her outfits are so cute! I love Anita Page - she's my favorite flapper!
Love the pics! Haven't seen the film, but would love to
I would love to see that movie as well. I love the outfits, all of them. Isn't it a same that people don't wear hats as they used to any more?
I wonder why she always looks so worried?
Yay! Speedway! I haven't seen this film but I want to see it bad! Anita Page looks fantastic in all the pictures! The costume designer David Cox was second only to Adrian at MGM at this time. I guess Cox did most of the casual wear while Adrian did the more lavish looking gowns.
Is this film out on DVD? My Dad is a race car driver, so I could see this film as a way to connect our two interests.
Mercurie/Elizabeth - Anita is your favorite flapper? I think she might be mine too!
Artman - The switching hat scene was hilarious!
Sarah - Picture? Please?
Kate - Isn't that hat the bee's knees? I love the swirl pattern.
Amanda - You should! If you have Classicflix it's available for rental and for purchase.
Faye - Hats need to come back! I love them and wear them whenever I can, especially in the winter.
KC - You'll have to watch the movie to find out.
Jonas - Look at you Professor Jonas!
Maggie - Yes it's out on DVD as part of the Warner Archive collection.
Anita was a beautiful woman, and I'm happy she lived to an age where she could see that people still appreciated her work.
Yes, Cloche hats are wonderful. Love 20s style. Beautiful.
I absolutely adore Anita Page! She's so wonderful! Also, I really want to see this movie. Anita always wore the cutest outfits in her movies. :)
