Here's one of MGM's previews of their forthcoming films. It casts it as Hollywood's influence on style by "annihilating space."
Yikes! Joan Crawford sets the styles for small towns, Robert Taylor's uniforms look better, and the wardrobes of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE will cost $75,000, thanks to the work of Adrian. Then, of course, we get clips from forthcoming movies. It's noteworthy that the MGM production of THE YEARLING is announced for the forthcoming season; various factors would delay it and result in extensive recasting, with Spencer Tracy being replaced by Gregory Peck, Ann Revere with Jane Wyman, and Gene Eckman by Claude Jarman Jr. Even the directors switched, from Victor Fleming to King Vidor, to, ultimately, the ever-dependable Clarence Brown. All of whom, no doubt, looked fabulous.
