There are four pages of clothing in the set, but I only have some rough images of two of the four (below).
The usual apologies for my absence lately. I hope to maybe post something new of my own soon.

Reap the Wild Wind was an 1942 action flick starring Ray Milland and Paulette Goddard (with a young John Wayne and Susan Hayward!). It's basically a romance about Clipper salvage in Key West the 1840s (an interesting and unusual subject!). In 1973, Marilyn Henry created this lovely paper doll set based on the film. I came across this on eBay and would love to bid on it, but I am sure it will go too dear for what I would be willing to pay. It's a nice set of the sort that you could color yourself (color printing was just too expensive 40 years ago unless you were a big publisher). It nonetheless has a spot color cover (presumably heavier stock), so the characters have some tints. My absolute favorite is the inclusion of the octopus (definitely a stand-out character in the film). The film, of course is rather silly and the costumes are not especially period-appropriate (this was a low-budget film made during WWII, which adds to its overall "cheap" look and feel ~ but hey, they did pretty good with what they had!

I loved this movie! I was so young when I saw it I thought it was Ann Blyth with John Wayne. But I remember vividly the yellow dress in the trunk and the octopus!!! They'd have to put that in the paper doll collection!!!! Comments are closed.
