Modern movies (in colour) that take place in the 1920s?
fwelve
top of their head, of modern movies (colour) that are set in the 1920's? My
interest is in the styles of clothing that explorers or archeologists would
have worn. Would they have differed much compared to 1930's clothes? A very
good example of 1930's style would be from the Indiana Jones series.
Thank you.

I'd hardly learn about the period by watching the Great Gatsby.
None of the movies listed will give you a good idea of what explorers
wore in the 1920s, unless you're wondering what they'd wear socially
to a high-society party in Hollywood or West Egg.
If you're interested in period costume, there are numerous books out
there--explorers did write about their expeditions, and their books
often come with pictures of them posing at their sites, or looking
manfully brave on a raft, etc., etc. Go to the local university
library.

You're quite right. I've been wondering when someone would speak up.
I thought maybe Frank Buck would qualify but alas his bring-'em-back-alive
films are all from the 30s.
Of course, we could all sing a chorus or two of "Hooray for Captain
Spaulding". _Animal Crackers_ was released in 1930, but it's a late 20s,
pre-Crash artifact for all that.
Or if the question includes the furrier sort of expedition outfits, there's
_Nanook of the North_.

subject. For one thing, it's second hand. You're getting someone's
interpretation, not the truth. For another, film costumes aren't always
accurate--costume designers have to balance accuracy with other needs, such
as making stars look glamorous to modern eyes.
There are books on costuming with details of outfits for every period. Start
with those. Find old fashion magazines. And adventure magazines from the
period. They often included illustrations, so you'd get some idea of color.
