another everyday man... well dressed....in the 30s? early 40s? Australia? somewhere? where

If that checkered curved thing is the steering wheel, and if the pic is not reversed, then it would not be Australia or England or NZ, or any country where they drive on the left. The wheel would be on the other side of the car.

A very atmospheric deleted scene from City Lights (1931)
Fun Fact: The dull-witted delivery boy is Charles Lederer (1906-1976), nephew of Marian Davies, who went on to be a screenwriter and director whose screenwriting credits included Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and Ocean's 11. And the window dresser is assistant director Harry Crocker (1893-1958) who was fired early in the production. Crocker was also a journalist who was a columnist with the Los Angeles Herald for many years.

Also if you look closely you can see the same extras walking by several times wearing different hats and coats each time. I can just picture a pile of hats back there and a wardrobe person feverishly handing them out! You can also see them make a slight turn around the back of the set where they lined up to reenter the scene.

Well, his jacket is buttoned properly, left over right, so the picture probably hasn't been flipped.

Good point. Sherlock Holmes and Ellery Queen would be proud of you, and would disown me. One of these days I'll learn to observe properly.

Those are either some tall bluebonnets or that's a short cowgirl.

These are fantastic photos. The first photograph of the little boy, we have that photo. Bid on it at a silent auction for a benefit in Los Angeles a couple years back. Would you happen to know who the photographer is?

You have a keen eye for details, are you sure you’re not related?

Somewhere in the back of my brain I have some weird form of facial recognition software. I often have trouble remembering names but, apparently, I never forget a face. *shrug*
