You knew it was the beginning of the Polyester Apocalypse when Sinatra wore leisure suits.

The Cinderella Man. Never seen this movie before, but WOW!
Agreed. I used to go to the "revival" houses to see Casablanca as it was intended to be seen: on a big screen. The Balboa Theater ran a wide variety of films, foreign, classic, silents, "art house", and so on. There was period of time when they played 40s music during intermission over the speakers (think of Road to Morocco's theme song).
I shy away from visiting the movies today because it's so expensive, there's very little that interests me, and, yes, those folks that talk and text and chat spoil it for me.
I can see it now:I spend every day of my life in a place like that. We don't run as many thirties pictures as I'd prefer, and too many whiny-white-people-in-New-York pictures, but the environment, at least, is extremely pleasant. Except when I have to sop up water from frozen pipes and deal with sagging ceilings.
Our walk-in music comes from my own collection of '78s. We have the only twentysomething concession kids in America who know all the words to "The Hut-Sut Song."
If I catch you texting during the movie, there's a pretty good chance I'll chuck you out. People know this, and keep their phones in their pockets.

...................but the dual plots aren't intertwined well and much of the "ancient wisdom" sounds like something the writers found in fortune cookies.

LM, please relocate to California and whip movie theaters into shape!
I remember that tune from the movie, " A Christmas Story".
I thought it was just "background music" for the movie ...Thanks JP

I thought it was from Horton Hatches the Egg:

The Invisible Man (1933) is one of my favorite classic "horror" movies, but I've never bothered to watch any of the sequels (even though I have them readily available in the Universal "Legacy Collection" DVD set) because I've heard they were all rubbish. I suppose I should take the time to watch them and form my own opinions one of these days.'The Invisible Agent' (1942)
I've never much cared for any of the 'Invisible Man' movies, but this one was interesting from a historical standpoint as a piece of American/Allied wartime propaganda of the time.
And it had Peter Lorre in it.
