That '70s Set:
From the tacky news desk to the chintzy weather map, "Anchorman" captures the flavor of 1970s-era local TV news. Production designers watched tapes of old local newscasts and visited newsrooms to get the feel of the period.
Ron Burgundy's bachelor pad, left, evoked the 1970s with burnt orange and brown decor and shag carpeting. In Ron's baritone description: "I have many leather-bound books, and my apartment smells of rich mahogany."
Groovy Costumes:
As The New York Times put it, " 'Anchorman' transports us back to a familiar silly world of embarrassing facial hair and ugly polyester clothes."
But oh, those clothes! Ron Burgundy's hipster turtlenecks and bright orange robe. The massive wide ties, Vernonica Corningstone's pastel power suits. Champ Kind's swaggering, signature cowboy hat.
Ron's wardrobe had a color palette that was clearly borrowed from his last name. His signature burgundy suit and closetful of color-coordinated outfits made it clear he was confident about his choices. |
