Lock & Co. Video
I found it interesting.....for one, I didn't know what a coffined staircase meant... And I did hear that General Picton died at the Battle of Waterloo leading a most effective bayonnet charge, that probably secured the win for General Wellington. General Picton's last words were "Charge...- Bird Lives

Cary Grant is not a "hatman"?
And whether this LOW crown fedora was his pick, my bet it was Hitchcock's....I think Hitch thought it looked like a hat a Spy would wear....If Cary had his way, I bet those side dents would disappear, but he did seem to dig low crowns after the 30's... Either way, I do think it's a great hat...- Bird Lives
