Movieland Mystery Photo

Almost everybody wears a newsboy cap in this film. What could it be?
[Please congratulate Dewey Webb, Mike Hawks, Don Danard, Mary Mallory and Rotter for identifying the movie — or our mystery fellow in the incredible sweater. ]

  1. Looks like the overripe, “The Music Man”. Campy even in its time.

    The young man wearing that ghastly sweater looks like Terry Kilburn to me.
    But I don’t know the title of the film.

    And if checking is allowed, he’s identified as “Newsboy” on the street in “Random Harvest”.
    But that still doesn’t excuse him for wearing that dreadful sweater !!

    Oops! My mistake. “Random Harvest” isn’t in color. I’ve never seen it, as it’s not my cuppa.

    Another great flat cap movie: “The Quiet Man” (1952), with John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara and Barry Fitzgerald. Interestingly, the imported British caps that John Wayne wore in the film were his own, bought at “Oviatt’s” branch store in the Beverly-Wilshire Hotel .
