4 Shots from 4 Films: RIP George Barris


4 Shots From 4 Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films.  As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films is all about letting the visuals do the talking. George Barris (11/20/25-11/5/15) was Hollywood’s  car customizer to the stars. Barris is probably best known for designing the Batmobile for the 60’s TV series, but his work showed up in many movies. Here’s a look:

High School Confidential! (1958, director Jack Arnold)

  1. I’ve seen and liked the three color films, each fun in their own way, and appreciated the cars in each. It never occurred to me to consider who designed or refashioned those cars. Nice that you’ve provided the opportunity to appreciate Mr. Barris for his work.
