Vintage female/female affection

Hey, and have you seen the mini-series of one of Sarah Waters' other books Fingersmith?

The mini-series is really very good.  But, it's not as good as Tipping the Velvet in my opinion.  But, the book of Fingersmith is spectacular... I highly recommend it.  It's a really complex story and really good in lots of other ways too....

And... Tipping the Velvet always makes me think of Marlene Dietrich in Morocco... If anyone can find a picture from the scene in this movie where Marlene kisses the girl... I'll send them a can of beans!

It's really amazing how a woman in a top hat can be such a hot look!  It's a pretty recurrent theme in a lot of great lesbian films/ books.

Here's another film on a vintage topic, Mrs. Dalloway, with an amazing lesbian subtext.  There are better scenes than this one where the two women have intimate moments... but I can't find them online at the moment.  It's a great film and an even better book (I'm a huge Virginia Woolf fan).

Is anyone else here besides me a fan of the classic 1975 Australian feature Picnic at Hanging Rock, directed by Peter Weir and adapted from the 1967 novel by Joan Lindsay? Set in Victoria in 1900, the story has a distinct yet understated lesbian undertone. This was the first Australian film to really have a significant critical impact internationally.

Hey Bud!
I'm not familiar with that film (to my shame!).  I'll definitely have to look it up!  Thanks for mentioning it.
