Films and TV set in the 20's

[Eve]

Can anyone let me know some films, TV etc... set in the 20's which give a good insight into the fashion (esp glamourous fashion) of that era?

Thank you :)

The 2004 film "Bright Young Things" (directed by Stephen Fry and based on Vile Bodies by Evelyn Waugh) offers a brilliant insight into the 1920s celeb circuit and proably has all the fashion you could want.

There really is only one surefire way to get this right, and that is to watch some films made in the 1920s which were set in the (then) present day.

It doesn't matter if they're silent films, because you're looking at the fashions!

Try Hitchcock's first (sound) thriller Blackmail for instance, or any of Laurel and Hardy's earlier films.
For "glamorous" fashion, this is more difficult, because this tends to feature in musicals but there were a few made at the very end of the 1920s; search film encyclopaedias for details. (or the Internet Movie Database!)
