  My granddad gets out of bed, puts on his pants, and puts on his shiny wing tipped shoes, and his sweater vest (kind of like Mr. Rogers). I have never seen him barefoot, except at the beach. I figure he is in his mid eighties, he could relax a bit, but he can't, he's from another era.

  My older friends like saucers with their coffee or tea, and have a thing for fine table linens...we are much more practical today. How many men do you see wearing three peice suits, and hats to the office EVERYDAY, much less of that now.

  Just in the seventies, lady teachers HAD to wear nylon stockings and respectable pumps with their dresses/skirts (even in Florida--with No air cond.) I can wear jeans and sneakers everyday if I so desire.

  My hubbies parents lived, and continue to live in the 40's and 50's...and they are only capable of polite and benign conversation. No discussions of alternative lifestyles, drugs, sex are tolerated.
  They pretend those things don't exhist.

  If it's a film, maybe it's the genre, the writer, the director, the studio...that was when studios actually had personalities back then, a specialized in different types of entertainment.

  You have to look at more movies from lots of different directors, writers.

  I'm sure that Howard Hawks, say "His Girl Friday", would blow your mind !
