'\"Fig Leaves\" (1926) Technicolor Sequences   \"Fig Leaves\" is a 1926 American silent comedy film directed by Howard Hawks, released by Fox Film Corporation, and starring George O\'Brien and Olive Borden. The film had a sequence, a fashion show, filmed in Technicolor. The elaborate costumes worn by Olive Borden were designed by Gilbert Adrian. They cost Fox more than fifty thousand dollars to make.   The 11 Jul 1926 Film Daily  review praised the comedy as “highly novel,” and noted that the fashion shoe sequence was filmed in “gorgeously done” Technicolor.  Director: Howard Hawks Writers: Hope Loring, Louis D. Lighton, Howard Hawks Cinematographer: Joseph August Production Company: Fox Film Corp.  Cast George O\'Brien as Adam Smith Olive Borden as Eve Smith Phyllis Haver as Alice Atkins George Beranger as Josef André (as André de Beranger) William Austin as André\'s assistant Heinie Conklin as Eddie McSwiggen Eulalie Jensen as Madame Griswald  Plot A married couple is juxtaposed in the Garden of Eden and in modern New York City. The Garden of Eden humorously depicts Adam (played by George O\'Brien) and Eve (played by Olive Borden) awoken by a Flintstones-like coconut alarm clock and Adam reading the morning news on giant stone tablets. In the modern day, the biblical serpent is replaced by Eve\'s gossiping neighbor and Eve becomes a sexy flapper and fashion model when Adam is at work.  SYNOPSIS In a prologue, Adam and Eve live in a primitive apartment. Adam, with his morning paper (a stone slab with the latest news engraved on it), has to rush to catch the morning commuter train (a cart with strap hangers pulled by a dinosaur), while Eve, though she has an extensive wardrobe, declares she has \"nothing to wear\" and prates about a sale on \"fig leaves,\" causing the serpent to tempt her. In modern New York, Adam is a plumber struggling for an existence, and Eve, discontented with her lot, longs for luxury. An automobile accident brings her to the attention of a Fifth Avenue shop, where she is engaged as a model under the egis of Josef André. The serpent emerges as a blonde seductress living across the hallway from the couple, and when Adam encounters his wife modeling, comic complications arise; eventually Eve spurns the advances of André and is reconciled with Adam.
