Double Harness
:) I watched it -- I liked it. I wouldn't rank it with a Busby Berkeley movie, but it was pretty nifty.- Amy Jeanne

The Ones that Got Away...
Mine is actually something I HAD, but had to sell due to the booming (sarcasm!) job market around here: I had a gorgeous collection of original 1920s and 1930s film stills and star portraits, but had to sell them on ebay due to chronic unemployment. Now that I'm gainfully employed I regret...- Amy Jeanne

From what I've heard, it was supposed to have a PAL DVD release in '05 or '06, but it never came into being because of copyright issues.- Amy Jeanne

Documentaries
Better not do that -- I just heard that the VHS set is going for $450 from sellers!!! Individual tapes are going for pretty high prices, too! I'm glad I got mine back in the day when it was only $70!! lol My favourite tapes are the one about scandals, the one about Clara Bow & John...- Amy Jeanne

Where is the collectors market for vintage clothing?
The Antiquariam in Philadelphia carries vintage clothing, but rarely anything pre-40s beside hats and purses. I don't think it's because there's no demand -- I just think it's hard to find!! And when they *do* get that gorgeous, fur-trimmed, wrap-around coat that I'd gouge my eyes out for, it...- Amy Jeanne

Why you shouldn't rely on technology
I didn't even know what a "Blackberry" was until about a month ago when a co-worker asked me if I had seen her's anywhere. I was confused. I actually asked her if she was looking for a fruit. She laughed at me.- Amy Jeanne

Photoplay Magazine Scans
June 1921 Photoplay for June 1921. Maybe a little before your time, but still fascinating, especially the advertisements! These ones are a bit crooked because the magazine had some water damage (as you can see!) and a wonky spine.- Amy Jeanne

Your local stations
Since I haven't been near the radio in years, I can only assume that these stations are still with us: -There used to be an AM station that played NOTHING but Frank Sinatra. -Cruisin' 92.1 used to have "The Sunday Night Supper Club" where they'd play swing music from the 1930s to now...- Amy Jeanne

What Were You Like As A Teen?
I was very shy, fat, didn't have any friends, had a bad haircut, bad fashion sense (but the late 80s/early 90s were the worst, though:eusa_doh: ), never wore makeup (glamour was not in my vocabulary!) and liked nothing but alternative & punk music!! Ned's Atomic Dustbin all the way!!- Amy Jeanne

Documentaries
I have so many. Any documentary aired on TCM! It also goes without saying that Hollywood (1980) and Cinema Europe (1996) are two of my all-time favourite docs. My very favourite, though, is The Race To Save 100 Years (1997) about film preservation. Film Preservation fascinates me and the...- Amy Jeanne

The Dress
Even if I'm not going anywhere I still do my hair and makeup. I don't need a reason -- it just makes me perk up and feel good about myself. Maybe a nice dress would do the same for you. I think that once you start doing it you'll never go back to needing a "reason" to wear one! I love all my...- Amy Jeanne

Golden Era Passtimes / Hobbies
Playing the uke! Gathering around the piano to belt out some jazzy tunes! Of course, I can do neither :o But I *can* follow the movie stars like there's no tomorrow :) I'd be movie-mad if I lived in the 20s and 30s.- Amy Jeanne

Tear-Jerker Flicks
Great minds think alike -- I was thinking of starting a thread for this today also! My answers are simple: The Big Parade (1925) -- Even though the very end is suppossed to be happy, it still makes me cry! Somewhere In Time (1980) Cinema Paradiso (1988) Switched At Birth (1991) --...- Amy Jeanne

Movies That Make You Smile
Well, thank ya!! I thought of some more: *must keep it reasonably lengthed, Amy* Ella Cinders (1926) Bare Knees (1928) Speedy (1928) Walking Back (1928) The Broadway Melody (1929) Tanned Legs (1929) *really, ANY creaky musical from 1929!* God's Gift To Women (1931) Lonely Wives...- Amy Jeanne

Rita's Glamour
Busby owns my heart. His 1930s output is as close to perfection as anything can get. Yes, it's fluff, but he's got heart & humanity lurking in the background of every scene and musical number. I think the 40s and 50s musicals (at least the ones I've seen) just didn't have that heart that I...- Amy Jeanne
