Robert, I’m wondering if you’ve seen the 1934 Frank Borzage movie “Little Man, What Now?”, based on the book of the same name?…if so, curious what you thought of it from a filmmaking perspective.
I reviewed the book & linked to my review of the film, here:

David:
I’ve never seen the film, but have heard that it’s quite good. I’ll screen it soon. Great review, really makes me want to see it. Thanks.
Thanks. Hope you’ll post your thoughts after you screen it.
That’s a gorgeous Packard. I stopped for gas in La Jolla one time. Behind me pulled in a gorgeous Bentley roadster. It was a 1923 roadster in green. The owner chatted while we filled up. He said it was not “authentic” because the engine was a 1924 or 1926. I can’t imagine what it was worth even with the “wrong” engine.
One year at the Monterey Historic races they honored Bentley. I have a picture of about 15-20 of those all lined up – 20s to early 30s – all in British Racing Green.
I. too, have an old Rolex. To the point that Rolex told me that some parts are now unavailable. I was told that only 125 people in the US are certified Rolex watchmakers
Love the picture of Shirley and that Packard is beautiful!
The fellow I go to is Hayes Jewelers and he now has a little shop in Mission Viejo where I used to live. The clerk. a relative I think, told me they are looking at Montana so I may lose him to the emigration from CA.
Thanks for the response. We both like old cars and watches. I dropped off my 40 year old Rolex at the service shop while we are in CA from Arizona. That shop used to be a Jewelry store in Laguna but about 15 years ago, he sold the jewelry store and just does Rolex watch service. I have several other watches, including a pocket watch I used to wear when I wore a vest, I’m down to two cars, neither collectable.
We have come a long way since the public was outraged at Ingrid Bergman’s affair with Rossellini.
Well done, Robert…
