I’ve been getting interested in old Hollywood these past few years. I didn’t really care for my mom’s “old timey movies” when I was a teen in the 70s, but I’ve been watching more of the old black and whites (gateway drug of Hitchcock initially) and starting to read up some on some of the stats and directors of that era.

Like I told Prof GAC above, share some of your stories with us here in the lounge if you are so inclined. I can’t be the only one who’d love to hear ‘em!
