  1. Alright

     

     

    After its completion, 'the studio' did not release this film until they had turned

     

    out a backlog of war-related films. Because the war was ending, the studio

     

    feared the public might lose interest in those films, while this film's subject was

     

    not time-sensitive. Attentive observers will note indications of the film's wartime

     

    production, such as period dialogue, pictures of President Franklin D. Roosevelt,

     

    and a woman taxi driver who says to 'him': "I'm your girl."

    Yeah. Except for the nose and chin, I thought this pic of Vivien was about as

    different as any I've run across. I believe it's from the 50's. Amazing, twinkeee

    got it faster than I could conjur up another. :) Go twinkeee!

  3. This post came out ok but this is what it looked like in progress. There was

    the same text in the bottom window but in Plain Text - I deleted that before

    hitting the post button.

     

    The page formatting is all off and response times are dragging. Weird.

  4. On second thought - here's one

     

    Wartime rationing influences the film: dead bodies are called "red points," which

    referred to wartime meat rationing, and 'his' car has a "B" gasoline rationing sticker

    in the lower passenger-side window, indicating he was essential to the war effort and

    therefore allowed eight gallons of gasoline per week.

     

    Film title ?
