TRANSPORTS of DELIGHT ... Kate's Fantasy

So this collage came about in a weird way. I had a photo of Douglas Fairbanks and his leading lady from "The Thief of Bagdad" (1924) on my worktable. Ron then chose this theme and I was delighted to be able to feature this scene! But how? 

I started by finding a suitable background (beautiful blue sky in this beach scene) for the part of the photo that just featured the flying carpet and clouds (I removed the buildings that were originally in the photo). 

Then I felt I needed a spectator and I found a great image of Katharine Hepburn glancing skyward! But, unbeknownst to be, a mere 9 years later Kate would star with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. in the film "Morning Glory" (1933).
