Hutton Playtime in Hollywood - Station Six Sahara 1963 There was a certain kind of Brit who wore Hutton Playtime - often slightly dodgy, a bit louche. Bryan Forbes was one, even Roy Kinnear, but here we have the great Scot Ian Bannen who specialized in greasy run down characters always looking to …

Hutton Playtime in Hollywood - Love With The Proper Stranger 1963 Steve in Hutton Playtime again. This time the shoes. In some shots it looks as if he’s wearing the chukkas but there are enough examples throughout the movie that it makes sense he had the low cut version as part of his jazz …

Hutton Playtime in Hollywood - Five Miles From Midnight 1962 Ok so this is an interesting one. To be filed under 'actors wearing their own shoes and not giving a damn about continuity'. Perkins is the male star of this movie filmed on location in Paris, but I'm guessing that Tony had limited …

A Tea Set For Santana? Shopping with Armando Peraza. This is one of my favourite stories because it concerns a man who was an incredible soul, that I was lucky enough to hang out with on several occasions and call a friend - the legendary Cuban Conguero Armando Peraza. When I was 15 I bought …
Hutton Playtime in Hollywood - Sea of Sand 1958 This was perhaps the first movie where I ever noticed the Hutton Playtime. I’m a movie nut. When I was in my late teens and early twenties I would go several times a week to the Everyman or the Scala and sit through two or three movies at a stretch. …

Hutton Playtime in Hollywood - The Blob 1958 Maybe the low budget element of Steve McQueen’s first real starring role feature (not counting The St Louis Bank Robbery, that is credited a year later and where he wore sneakers and not Playtime) gave Steve the urge to wear a lot of his own clothes. …

Shopping For Santana & Other Tales Tea Set shopping for Santana, living in Mussolini’s villa, creating the world’s first MP3s, writing the ‘readers’ letters for Razzle magazine, and getting disqualified from Latin GRAMMYs… When I started this blog in 2009 I was very careful to keep the …
Hutton Playtime in Hollywood - Wheel of Fate 1953 A very neat entry in our Hutton Playtime Hollywood Hall of Fame actually comes from the famous Riverside Studios, Hammersmith in London rather than Tinseltown. Anglo Ivy style man Bryan Forbes had not yet reached his apogee as a writer and …
