patches Posted September 15, 2019 Share #226 Posted September 15, 2019 A update on A Bell for Adano, out of curiosity I went looking for images of the December 1944 Broadway Play, and found a few of Fredric March who played the roll on stage that Hodiak would play in the movie, seems the patch was not worn, only in the movie and the 1967 T.V. Hallmark Hall of Fame revival. These are the images from the play, these are Getty, with a couple or more from the movie thrown in, you'll see William Bendix here too, one where he's wearing the patch and one where he's not, that's because he was in both the stage and the movie. Normally we try to avoid the Getty in posting right, so check it out yo. https://www.gettyimages.com/photos/a-bell-for-adano?family=editorial&sort=mostpopular&phrase=a%20bell%20for%20adano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted September 15, 2019 Share #227 Posted September 15, 2019 Whoaho, found another fake patch for a different unit from A Bell for Adano movie. Look here, unfortunately it's a image similar to Getty so I'll just post the page link, patch as you'll see is a cross between a 37th Inf Div, I Corps or Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot,, take your pick https://www.shutterstock.com/editorial/image-editorial/a-bell-for-adano-1945-5874533c And on Harry Morgan.

patches Posted September 15, 2019 Share #228 Posted September 15, 2019 And one more of Hodiak, ( I guess more and more images from the movie have been released since I first went looking in 2011 LOL) looks even more like a machine embroidered on wool in this image, we can see what probably is a mesh gauze backing along the edge.

Scarecrow Posted September 17, 2019 Share #229 Posted September 17, 2019 Here's one from the 1942 movie "Eagle Squadron" by Paramount pictures. A movie filmed during the war that the real Eagle Squadron members were invited to at the London premier. Starring Robert Stack, Eddie Albert, Diana Barrymore and Nigel Bruce. The Battledress/Costume was worn in the movie by Actor Howard Banks. I have another worn by Actor Lee Bennett. [attachment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted October 24, 2019 Share #232 Posted October 24, 2019 Just found another Phony Hollywood patch in my travels. Was looking at movies Carl Alfalfa Switzer was in, and seen this movie he had a small credited role in, a Korean War era one called Flight Nurse from 1953, can say never heard of this one, so I hit the old Google images of it and spotted this one still from it of a Phony USAAF Shoulder Patch, Shoulder Patches still being worn during the Korean War to a great degree. It's the only good image I can find of it, as we see it has some kind of Beams of Sun or something with some kind of circles and stuff with what looks to be the Air Corps Star with Red Disc, hard to see I know, even ZOOMing in doesn't make it look much clearer, still it is heretofore first find of one more made up unit shoulder patch in a period post WWII movie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_Nurse_(film) And one more where the patch is seen, even less clear regrettably.
