Classic Moments, Modern Faces

After finally watching the classic screwball comedy 'My Man Godfrey' I looked back over the amazing photo shoot/spread that was in Vanity Fair a few years back. The photographs were of new actors or modern actors posing in stills or moments from classic films, such as My Man Godfrey and It Happened One Night. I left a couple as I hadn't seen the films or I just didn't think they were the best comes.

My favourite is, of course, It Happened One Night featuring James Marsden as Clark Gable and Rose Bryne as Claudette Colbert. The films depicted are; It Happened One Night, Paper Moon, They Shoot Horses Don't They?, My Man Godfrey and 42nd Street.
