On this day, 27 March 1942, France’s collaborationist Vichy government issued the barbershop decree, demanding that barbers collect cut hair and donate it to the war effort to make slippers and sweaters. The rebellious Zazous refused and grew their hair long.
Zazous were anti-fascist youths who wore dapper suits, listened to jazz and swing music by largely Black and Jewish musicians and fought with fascists on the street. Police rounded them up, and Vichy fascist youth groups hunted them down and cut their hair.

SUBLIME CINEMA #583 - HOUSE OF WAX
House of Wax was the first 3D color film by a major studio, and it caused a sensation. It’s still great fun without the glasses.
Andre de Toth couldn’t see 3D since he lost his eye after a terrifying incident; scouting locations in Egypt after the Yom Kippur war, de Toth was kidnapped, pistol whipped and interrogated by a group of men who had mistaken him for Moyshe Dayan.
“He only escaped with his life after a quick examination of his groin bore out De Toth’s claim that far from being an Israeli commander, he was not even Jewish.”
