Willy Fritsch & Lilian Harvey Swimsuit & deux-pièces

Woods exterior, Germany
c. 1931-1932 LH3E50


Costume
   Willy Fritsch: tank maillot.
   Lilian Harvey: bra and shorts deux-pièces.

   Willy Fritsch: TL.
   Lilian Harvey: TML. Bellage

Actions
   Wily Fritsch leans over Lilian Harvey as the two sits on rocks near a swimming hole (1). The pose is for a pinup card, and although Fritsch's swimsuit may be proper for the the day, Lilian Harvey's bare-midriff deux-pièces is a long step over the already permissive maillots of the era.
   The card with and without the logo (2, 3).

Commentary
   A twenty-year-old Lilian Harvey establishes why she is a leading European sex symbol.
