  I remember seeing photos of my parents from the early 50s.  Even though Dad was a mechanic and we didn't have a lot of money, when they went out, Dad wore a suit, tie, hat, and dress shoes and mom wore a nice dress, pumps and a necklace.  Now, people dress like they're going to scrub toilets.

  Whoever reproduced this from the original print did a bang up job. It looks like it was freshly filmed.

  This is such a gem series   I don’t want to finish them because they have good scripts, good acting  and a perfect amount of drama.

  Love the crime doctor.  As an older woman, I appreciate that the male leads aren’t as young as usual. 😊

  People used to buy just a few quality pieces of clothing, each season, giving to charity the things that were unmatchable to colors of new palettes. The women also sewed many pieces of basic clothing. I did this, to some extent, but I did do my family's sewing. I designed my girls dresses, and short outfits, bathing suits, slips and the matching over undies, for under their dresses, and over under panties, so they could play, w/o feeling self-conscious. Patterns for little girls dresses, used to include slips, and over-panties that were always used, so little girls could play, instead of standing around and watching the boys swing upside down.

  Everybody wears suits, ties, hats. Women with heels, suits. No one dresses casual in these old movies. Its not like that in 2026. Ever see how people come to the airport dressed?
