"Les archives perdues de Katheryne DeWinter (1932-1937)"
Dans une vieille malle oubliée au grenier d'un ancien studio..
quelques photographies impeccablement conservées.
Des portraits de studio
Des essais pour des films jamais tournés.
Et le visage d'une actrice dont le nom semble avoir glissé hors de l'histoire.
Katheryne DeWinter
Une étoile des années 30 et 40,
élégante et mystérieuse,
comme sortie d'un film noir qui n'existe plus.
Ces images seraient (apparemment) les seules traces d'une femme que l'on appelaient
"la femme aux regards de minuit"
Et vous ?
avez-vous déjà entendu parler d'elle ?
Archives restaurées.
Kiss 💋

🎥 𝗝𝗼𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘁𝘆 𝗟𝘆𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗻 (𝗠𝗚𝗠, 𝟭𝟵𝟯𝟮), photographed by George Hurrell in publicity stills that crystallise the grammar of early-1930s Hollywood glamour. Directed by Clarence Brown and starring Crawford alongside Robert Montgomery and Nils Asther, the film is remembered as much for Adrian’s sharply modern gowns as for Crawford’s emergence as a screen figure of controlled intensity and psychological depth.
Letty Lynton occupies a curious place in film history: withdrawn from circulation following a 1936 copyright infringement ruling, it became one of classical Hollywood’s most mythologised “lost” films—known largely through still photography, costume design, and critical memory rather than moving images. With the long-anticipated expiration of the copyright reportedly scheduled for 2025, the film stands on the threshold between absence and rediscovery, reminding us how studio-era cinema was shaped not only by production and performance, but by law, ownership, and the fragility of cultural access.
