I had a thought that maybe the garage in the movie Mon Oncle had porthole windows. I can't find a photo, but the house certainly had porthole windows and they looked quite malevolent at night when lit from inside. I found this picture. http://ramblingsfromagirliegirl.blogspot.com.au/2011/03/mon-oncle-1958-great-example-of.html
MELBOURNE ART DECO
In 2009 Robin Grow published a book on Melbourne Art Deco, with images largely supplied by David Thompson. The book quickly sold out and he is pleased to say that it has now been re-published by Brolga Press, with updates, errors corrected and a new cover.
Best of all, it is selling for about $25 in the shops and on-line. Art Deco & Modernism Society members can purchase a copy from me for $22, (includes postage within Australia). For overseas orders please email for postage rates. Contact me at robingrow@ozemail.com.au if you are interested, and advise if you would like the book to be dedicated and/or signed.

ReplyDeleteYou are spot on Andrew. The tilt door for the garage has two small porthole windows. I found a picture on this website. http://incorruptibleprod.blogspot.com.au/2009/05/la-villa-arpel-au-104-ou-l-art-de-l.html
DeleteAh, it is the set rebuilt as an exhibit, I take it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it would have been great to visit the rebuild.
