That Packard was a beautiful car.They were really a run above Cadillac and Lincoln. During WW2 their engineering prowess streankined the production of the license-built RR Merlin V12 engine and got Rolls respect.
What an sad end post W2.
There’s a risque little story I once read about Bankhead during the making of Lifeboat. To get to the tank where filming was being done, she had to climb up a long ladder and, as Tallulah was notorious for not wearing panties, she gathered quite a crowd each morning to watch her ascend.
Apparently the producers were embarrassed by the daily spectacle and approached Hitchcock to see if he could address the situation, to which Hitch replied, “I would be glad to, but which department does the complaint fall under – costume, makeup or hairdressing?”
Robert,
I love the watch. The price *might* be a little high, but the design is inspiring.
And I adore Maureen O’Hara — she is a close second to Myrna Loy on my list of boyhood crushes. Well played.
Have a wonderful Shabbat…
Oh… and the Packard and the piano lamp. Very nice design.
