When I look at old and period piece movies, It amazes me how things have changed. Middle of July with a suit and hat, but you could wear short sleeves to keep cool. Now, we're dying in a t-shirt and shorts.
Or how when dad came home from work, there would be his slippers, a cardigan sweater, a pipe, a martini or scotch, and the evening newspapers.
I'm also amazed at the amount of smoking going on. I don't smoke, but I'm the only one in my family that doesn't. I never noticed how much people smoked until I looked at old movies. Man did people smoke.
If I was modeling the 1950s, I would buy a copy of Sam Mendes' Revolutionary Road (Leonardo DiCaprio & Kate Winslet). The texture of the movie is what sold me on it.
