Another Cora Maxwell House one. I wish I could place the actor playing the husband—he looks so familiar.

Ok, this one would not work today.

Oh, man, that is the neatest toy ever! I'd love to have one of those.

I used to have a clock that was kind of like that. It had some gears and innards you assembled to it to a real clock that ran. I'll have to see if I can find what that was.

Here is one my favorites. McGraw-Hill Textbook company made a lot of these social guidance films. This one is actually pretty interesting, both in terms of the main character and the reaction of people today as to who is at fault.
The Snob 1958

Speaking of which...Here is a shot of Douglas Fairbanks on the set of a film being directed by Allan Dwan (not sure which film it would be).

That's a fascinating photo. It's always interesting to me to see off-camera shots of actors and actresses on the set.

My all time favorite and Lucille's Ball's favorite episode is the one with William Holden and Lucy lights her putty nose on fire.

That's probably the one funniest scene ever put on television. No matter how many times I've seen it, I can't get my breath.

All right! I love this thread. You know what an addict I am of instructional videos. And you've started it off with a classic.

Cool that it's from a tv performance, too. I think that fashion should come back, and I'm not being silly!

It's amazing to see three legends together on the stage there—Mama Cass Elliott, Mary Travers, and Joni Mitchell. That's a threesome.
Yes, I wish that fashion would come back, too.

What a haunting voice and a haunting song—it is indeed a great combination of song and singer.
