    I love the fashions back then! The 30s, 40s and 50s had so much class...the suits, and hats...I wear suits and hats when I can, but we've become so casual, sloppy even. Now I see grown women in public...in their pajamas. We stopped caring about appearance. 😔 Edit: I love the furnishings too! Every room so lovely. Now tackiness is the norm. I like real wood, rich fabric sofas, chairs and drapes. I haunt the thrift stores for such things.

    I enjoyed this movie 🎥 very much, thank you for making it available. I love the old movies, between the 1930 - 1940. I didn't care too much for the '50 era. From then on seems like everything fell apart. Family structure, Moms weren't home anymore when kids got out of school. The 60's ☮️ (me included) were trying to find their heads. Wasn't that a crazy mixed up era. Well I finally found my head fortunately before my daughter was born, thank the Lord. Actually now that I'm thinking about it I love reading old books era 1800 thru the '40's. 🇺🇸
