'A treasure trove of movie memories' found stuffed in crawlspace, roof, floor
From about 1940, through about 1988 they actually weren't the property of the studios, but rather of National Screen Service. The NSS was setup in 1940 to handle all paper publicity materials for the major Hollywood studios. Posters of about 6 different sizes, lobby cards, cardboard stand ups...- Atomic Age

I particularly liked the Disney True Life Adventures. We saw 16mm technicolor prints of those in grade school. Amazing cinematography. Doug- Atomic Age

WEIRD stuff from the golden era
I would think that a radium dial watch with the crystal in tact would be MORE dangerous. Radium puts of radon gas as it decays. In a sealed watch that gas would have no place to go. I suspect the danger of radium dial watches is VASTLY over stated. The "radium girls" had health issues because...- Atomic Age

Your Favorite Documentaries
Horatio's Drive: America's First Road Trip By Ken Burns, about the first man to drive from San Fransisco to New York in a car, in 1903. Tom Hanks reads Horatio Nelson's letters to his wife and Keith David provides his usual wonderful velvety voice to the narration. It is a VERY funny documentary...- Atomic Age

I always wanted to wear a propeller beanie cap into a synagogue. I'm guessing they would kick me out. Charlie McCarthy the ventriloquist doll isn't quite as strange as Charlie McCarthy the RADIO star!!!! Doug- Atomic Age

Sherlock Holmes
I think Brett is by far the best Holmes ever. However I did enjoy the stage play "Sherlock Holmes: The Strange Case of Alice Faulkner" starring Frank Langella as Holmes. It was recorded for HBO in 1981. I do think the tv show "House" is among the best "inspired by Holmes" projects ever done...- Atomic Age

Most Over-rated Actress of the Golden Era?
$400,000 for 8 weeks work in 1938! That would be $6 million today. Still considerably less than Schwarzenegger was making at the height of his acting career. Interesting that Bringing Up Baby is listed as a movie that died, and is now considered a classic example of screwball comedy. But then...- Atomic Age
