Season+1+-+Spring

= Spring =

The show starts with Tommy De Vito's story in spring. Tommy was responsible for starting the band. It was his way of getting out of the Jersey neighbourhood. He would either become a gangster, or be a pop star, and that's what he set out to do. In many ways Tommy was the father figure of the band. He saw his role as one of keeping the band going, and taking the others, especially the younger Frankie, under his wing. We also see some of Tommy's cockiness coming through in his dance movement.

The period is the late 1950's and early 1960's, and costuming reflects this. Grey suits would have been standard for the men of that time so spring colours are introduced to liven the costumes up. In particular we see pink, magenta, fushia in the men's ties and shirts, and the ladies dresses.

The style of Frankie's jacket, as in the picture above, places this scene in the late 1950's or early 1960's. ||

Tommy's suit here is very typical of the 1950's but the spring colour accents can be seen in his shirt and tie. ||
