And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I think there was a higher premium placed on facial beauty in those days. Today there are many actresses with great bodies but only average pretty faces. No doubt the coming of the bikini shifted the focus of attention.
Male actors today are quite buff, too. They don’t do near enough films compared to Bogie and the Duke, and they are seriously t ype cast.
My Dad was had great admiration for Gene Tierney. He told me she visited his ward at Bethesda Naval hospital while he was recovering from wounds received in the Marianas, 1944. RIP, Dad.
back when film makers practiced there crafts with out naked women cluttering up the set. today, too many actors are not worth the "film" used on them. generally, craftsmanship in front of the camera and behind the lense is something missing in today's film industry with a few notable exceptions. flesh and bullets is what sells today.
Delectable........
