United States-1964: Girl in Cat-Eye Glasses Rolling Dice from a Cup at a Party Table

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit

Fits requests for early-to-mid 1960s American home social life, giving documentary and education producers a short, clear shot of a table game at a gathering.

Period detail

Cat-eye glasses, curled short hair, a narrow dark tie with a pale shirt and a red fringed lampshade may show a home of about 1963 to 1965.

Home-movie behavior

The girl concentrates on her roll while the others lean in, an unstaged moment of friends absorbed in a game rather than posing for the camera.

What appears in frame

A girl tipping a dark cup, two dice on a white tablecloth, a young man in glasses and a tie, a man in a white short-sleeved shirt, a red lampshade and red flowers behind.

Film character

Warm amber 8mm colour, visible grain, soft handheld focus and emulsion wear along the right edge give the shot a period home-projection texture.

Edit role

Works as a quick insert or memory beat inside a party or game-night sequence, or as a cutaway between wider shots of a gathering.

Historical context

Home games around a covered table were a common way to spend an evening with friends, and the clothing and furnishings fit an American home of the early-to-mid 1960s.

Research note

Rights in the film itself are separate from likeness: faces are identifiable and the girl may be a minor, the people are unnamed, and the private home interior calls for caution on intended use.
