Probably L.A. Sports arena.

 

Is that Boeing? Wichita or Seattle? If it's Wichita, my Dad may be down there somewhere.

 

I like to mess with my Mom's family's minds (her maiden name was Baker). I ask them who the most famous "Baker" is. Most of the time, they think of Home Run Baker, or a guy who is big in the horse industry. When I tell them, Norma Jean Baker, some of the get it, and some of them I have to "remind" them. Then, about 4 or 5 years later, I do it again.

 

It still didn't come across. OK, google St. Lo, France and you will find a number of pictures of the location during the Normandy invasion.

 

Don't get me wrong, I believe it's a straight photo. It just looks fuzzy enough... like a 50's B sci-fi movie with toy soldiers and Godzilla... that it has a studio set-up look to me. Kinda like shooting with 5 buck Instamatics to intentionally make your pix look old. Gary

MARTY

(Ernest Borgnine) is one of the classic films to deal with the experiences of Americans of Italian descent. The blue-collar work ethics. The thirty-five-year-old "mammone". The almost suffocating closeness of family members. The crushing pressure to marry and raise a family. located in the Arthur Avenue section of the Bronx, a steadfast Italian enclave. The dependence of the younger and the older generation on each other. All these things ring so true and make MARTY a distinctively Italian-American film.Marty is a wonderful story of a traditional family making their way through life in NYC in the 50's. We should treasure it for the piece of history that it is!

This one raises an interesting question. Just what did auto dealers do during the war years? Parts sales and service, obviously, but was that alone enough to cover their overhead and pay staff?
