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 - 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 …

Hutton Playtime in Hollywood - Second Chorus 1940 The oldest of our representations of the Hutton Playtime in Hollywood, but a very, very clear one nonetheless. Here we have none other than Fred Astaire and the wonderful Burgess ‘The Penguin’ Meredith in this fun farce about two music students …

Hutton Playtime in Hollywood - First in a Series Well, now that I’ve officially come out of the closet as the Weejun being behind the Hutton relaunch back in 2015, it seemed to be the right thing to do to take an in-depth look at the years of obsession I've had with the Hutton story. An …
