Here it is all lit up with a clear view of the base, jeezus how do you give that much screen space to this monstrosity!? (LAURA, 1944)

I gotta do the writing that pays the bills now, so I’ll leave off LAURA lamps until tomorrow. Here’s one last bizarrely prominent petticoat nightmare of a lamp, boo! #NoirLamps #movies #classicfilm

I think this lamp doubles as some kind of chafing dish (LAURA 1944)
#classicfilm #movies #noirlamps
The interiors of LAURA are fussy and ornate and decidedly backward-looking, which makes Laura herself seem like she’s stuck in other people’s nostalgic dreams of glamor (specifically Waldo’s). This lamp is typical 🤮 #movies #classicfilm #NoirLamps

This lamp, also in her office, is a little better, but only a little, and you barely see it. (LAURA 1944) #movies #NoirLamps #classicfilm

There are lamps, of course. Here’s some fairly typical midcentury “exotica,” which is pretty ugly, but Way more appealing than the froofily-beshaded lamps at Laura’s place, which are dreadful (LAURA 1944) #movies #classicfilm #NoirLamps
