1940s on screen

A forties setting needs a clear story date, since everyday street detail should be researched for the scene rather than borrowed from a general period mood. Cars already in use before the decade can belong in a forties street, so a background selection need not consist only of newly dated models. Photographs of the intended place and period are more useful than a single familiar image when choosing the mix of traffic for a street sequence.

Possible roles in a production

Costume references should belong to the character and date, avoiding a broad assumption that an American vehicle calls for the same clothes in every scene. An American-labelled vehicle can support a US-set street, but the location, signage and surrounding traffic still need references appropriate to the place being portrayed. For a British setting, an American car can be part of a character’s ordinary transport without implying a particular background or ownership story.
