| Amazing ! The Golden Age of American Film Making |
My wife and I wish we could go back to this time period, life sure seemed much nicer. Even if it wasnt at least Hollywood did its best to show us a better world and not the negative, violent, and profane world of today.
A defenite prize in our DVD collection !! We watch these often and always get a laugh and a smile . January 25, 2008
