Production Photos

Columbia Pictures inaugurates a wake-up service for its players. The old alibi - the alarm clock didn't go off - is out. Cover girls are shown being registered, and it is early to bed and early to rise for the young lovelies.

Just another day on the Columbia Pictures Sunset/Gower studio lot, circa 1930's-1940's. These photos showcase moviemaking techniques of yesterday, highlighted by the original publicity captions as found in Sony Pictures Archives and Collections.
