Monroe in RIVER OF NO RETURN, Russell in THE TALL MEN, and Dickinson in RIO BRAVO all appear wearing high heeled pumps that belong in the 1950s, not the 19th century.

Yeah, their underwear is all vintage 1950s and 1960s. And Angie Dickinson's character is wearing black pantyhose, which wasn't invented until 1964.

I find it amusing that you say pantyhose wasn't invented until 1964, but here it is in a movie made in 1959. Time travel, perhaps?

Must've been. They didn't invent women until 1965.

High heel shoes were invented in Latveria in 1881.

Latveria? Doesn't that border on Freedonia?

[–] jgroub 9 years ago

No, no, no. Latveria is between Atisket and Atasket, just south of Jerkola.

I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

"The formal invention of high heels as fashion is typically tributed to the rather short-statured Catherine De Medici (1519-1589)." Source is randomhistory.com.
