Sky Captain and the world of tomorrow..

I worked part time at a movie theatre when that movie came out.
I happen to have a 6' cardboard Polly Perkins in my study.

Lucky me.
 
yes, except she's got a special hollywood model that has a built in flash and giant top mounted frame counter (that counts backwards, no less) in place of the cold shoe :p
 
I'm sorry... Gwynneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie in one movie and you are wittering on about an Argus...?

*shakes head*

Regards,

Bill
 
Was I the only one who noticed this is the ultra-rare and collectible left handed Argus C3 especially built for some unknown reason, but sought by Argus collectors everywhere? ;) Check the link to the movie poster in pvdhaar's post above.

Technicalities of GP's Franken-Argus prop aside, it was a fun and stylish movie. And the bit with the lens cap at the end - :D.

Was this Argus known prior to Sky Captain? It solves the face obscuring trait of standard configuration cameras. We see more of Gwynneth.

FPJ,

Yes, I am pretty sure this is the famous Gwynneth-non-face-obscuring model C3. AKA the Argus GNFO. And those Leica guys thought they had all the fun with obscure variations.
