Thanks Ace,

Great pic, it's a publicity still and I'm fairly certain the scene didn't appear in the movie.

As a publicity photo, it was probably never intended to appear in the movie.

Nice find Andy, it seems like there was a lot of cross dressing in the 30's, 40"s and 50's. I remember in the late 60's my parents took part in a mock wedding for somebodies anniversary and my father was a brides maid. What a shock when I first discovered the 8 mm film of that party and my father in his dress, nylons and wig and he gave me hell for dressing up back then. Well like he always said "do as I say not as I do".

I do have to add though, I sure looked a whole lot better looking in girls clothes than he and his friends did. I relabeled that film reel Nightmare on Elm the 60's version.

Great find, but one has to wonder about this one.

Although they did curl some boy's hair on special occasions in those days, they almost never put ribbons in their hair too (but it did happen). The back of the photo only reveals the photographer's company, & something written in ball point pen, which wasn't invented until many decades later. Because whatever was handwritten also has a string of numbers, it may have been an estate, liquidation, or auction marking rather than something about the person. Many antique & junk shops would write stuff on the back of these as inventory info.

I tried to enhance the writing but with the low contrast of it, it was beyond my software to sense it properly without enhancing every lump or grain in the background.

Hi Betty,

It was the pants underneath, as well as the shoes and socks, that made me think it was a boy, if it was a girl I think they would have been frillier, like in this illustration.
