I make shoes, bespoke and ready-to-wear for personal customers, film, and television. Additionally, I make a range of tight rope shoes, trapeze boots, and clown shoes for circus performers. You can view my website from my channel page and email from 'more about this channel...'

I also have an interest in older films, especially film noir, it's tangentially connected. They were always on television and provided a lot of entertainment and ideas when we couldn't afford any fancy channels! I present them using the best quality version available, and editing my lower-quality finds to improve them. They all have value in one way or another and should not be lost and forgotten.

Our cover-star is Clara Bow in a wonderful image from Rough House Rosie, a 1927 silent film. She worked naturally with the camera, giving her a unique ability to captivate the audience.

The film is sadly lost, though the original trailer and some clips and shots remain.

I hope you enjoy the films...
