Hello to one and all! My first post on this illustrious forum so apologies if this topic has been covered elsewhere. I was wondering what peoples' favourite films were that included seamed/ff/vintage stockings? Is there anything to beat Saint Trinians? Any recommendations from you connoisseurs?

Billie Holidays "It should Happen to You," where she slips off her shoes and exposes her reinforce FF stockinged feet when she thinks.

Cheers Mike. I thought there'd be a few more suggestions though! 
I saw an old Norman Wisdom film yesterday (I forget the title) and Norman's love interest (a prim nurse) was permanently sporting black seams. Did real nurses EVER wear seams? Or is it just in my imagination.

Ahhh, but at one time EVERY lady wore seams...because that was all there was to wear!
As you'll see in the other movie thread dredged up from 2002 to the top of the forums (Mike-nice digging there!) They still can be found occasionally in current films, but your best bets are the films from the original golden age of stockings, for obvious reasons!
Personally, some of my fave stocking references, altho not necessarily sightings, are in the Brit TV show Coupling (Available on BBC America). I have nearly died laughing at some of Steves more profound comments!

Saw the orginal "Parent Trap" last night. I number of women were wearing FF in this 1960 film. Also in Breakfast at Tiffany the police woman was wearing black FF.

In "Paradise Alley" which take place in Hells Kitchen, NYC, in the '40's, plenty of FF shots, including a close-up of the reinforcer heel. Also a hooker in bed with stockings on.

"Wish You Were Here" when Emily Lloyd flashed the bus drivers showing off her knickers and stockings, not sure if they were RHT or FFS.
"Love Actually" with Martine McCutcheon walking away from Hugh Grant and she's wearing seams. Now that is one very lovely lady, seams or no seams.

I was just watching the end of the 1933 musical "42nd Street".
Good enough to make me wish to see the all movie : plenty of opera stockings, garters and stocking tops.

Funny you should mention that. I've just ordered Swing Kids from Amazon. Great film if I remember rightly.

If you would like seams all the way through any film, place a deep scratch in the middle of the original negative.
