      Listen...not for Nothin but...can u imagine if we WERE still making movies look like this?? Actors today are just as good and better. The scenery and special effects only ENHANCE what we see. The Scores are much better. Costuming is better. We love and NEEDED these movies. And then we got better. Can you imagine if the Worlds food,medication,etc were the same???

    I can’t believe that the war was going on whilst these brilliant actors were making this film.
    The suits they wore were so smart, when men looked like men, and the women looked beautiful
    These films are just the best. I’d rather watch one of these films than the latest blockbuster in the cinema.
