Margaret Lockwood gifs

[thisbluespirit]

I am a bit tired for proper posts (partly for good reasons, too!) so have some gifs of a young Margaret Lockwood in The Beloved Vagabond (1936) with Maurice Chevalier. She was probably still 19 when they filmed it.



They made her audition really hard back in those days.



Being understandably reluctant to strip for Maurice Chevalier.






Learning to be a lady. (Not a wicked one yet.)

And then just being ridiculously adorable, really:










There was also an artistic boy that Maurice Chevalier kidnapped and Margaret Lockwood/Maurice Chevalier was a thoroughly dodgy end pairing BUT ridiculously cheery with everybody singing and dancing round 1900s France while Margaret Lockwood was, as above, seriously adorable. And I have now watched a Maurice Chevalier thing, so my store of cultural references has been widened.

Lol at Lockwood learning a sexy walk:D And lots of adorability:)

Yes, I had to gif that, and the not-good-enough dancing, too. :-)

Those are wonderful! There really is something about the style of that period. Everything looks so nice (and giffable!)

Some things never change, though. She looks about twenty years younger than her leading men!

Yes, it's still close enough to silent movie and to stage for everyone to have slightly exaggerated facial expressions and movements/reactions that gif very well!

And, lol, mostly the age differences haven't been too bad, but yeah, make that 30 not 20 - she was 19 and Maurice Chevalier was 48! (It was, as I said, a thoroughly dodgy relationship - lucky the film was too cheery to make it much worth bothering about.)

I'm laughing at the gifs but you're right about her being adorable! She's unbelievably cute.
