That's great. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and that it sparked a renewed interest in you for the classics. There are a lot of good Ford movies, as well, out there for you to discover. To your husband's point, I'm always "amazed" at how good everyone's teeth looked the "Old West."- Fading Fast

"DON' STAN' AROUN' GASSIN', GET T"YA BENCH!" That is freakin' hilarious. Alice better not push Sally too far as Sally is as close to a breaking point as a person can get. Tell me you'd have casual sex with a sailor without telling me you'd have casual sex with a sailor:- Fading Fast

I'm with Sally, there's a story behind Kelly just quitting like that. Sounds like Alice is going to find out why first. "He envisions 'streamlined, noiseless cars'..." It's 2024 (eighty years to the day later) and we New Yorkers are still waiting for those "streamlined, noiseless cars." "I...- Fading Fast
