Errol Flynn, Captain Blood (1935)
I love Basil Rathbone’s need to repeat “mon capitaine” every 5 seconds to prove his frenchness in this film :-)

Hello followers !
Today, I posted an Edward Steichen’s photograph featuring a model called Jane Powell, standing in front of a Cadillac.
If you look at the bonnet of the car, you can see a little statue. It reminds me of the Spirit of Ecstasy, the famous symbol of Rolls-Royce.
After a small research, I found out that every Cadillac from the 1930’s had the same ornament.
SO, I was wondering: did Cadillac use a logo very close to the Rolls-Royce’s one on purpose, to fit the fashion of that time ? Or is it a simple coincidence if the two statues look the same ?
I won’t die if I don’t get an answer :-) But if you know anything and feel like sharing it, I’m ready for your messages !
Have a nice day !
