Amelia Earhart had a lucky strike? Guess it didn't last long! LOL ;)

The SPAM ad is part of a fascinating era for me, when advertisers were forced to hold onto brand identity in a time of scarcity; brings to mind the ads about why you couldn't get a new car because they were busy making tanks, so that people would still think well of their brand when they came back after the war.

I can't imagine how today's America would handle that kind of austerity. I suppose we might see soon enough, if energy prices keep it up...

That last one makes me think ... Luke Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson.

I guess Amelia ran out of cigarettes and went down in despair!

yes, heaven forbid someone stand up for their morals, but fortunately, that's not really what the 1952 movie because of you is about. christine (loretta) was engaged to a (unbeknownst to her) gangster and ended up as an accessory in a robbery which garnered her a jail sentence. after getting out, she becomes a military nurse and quickly falls for, marries, and has a daugter with soldier/successful businessman steve (jeff), never telling him about her seedy past. to make a long story short, former fiancée kidnaps chistine and child, carries out another robbery, is killed in the ensuing high speed chase which the girls survive. steve is obviously none too happy with how he finds out about her past. hilarity ensues - and by "hilarity" i mean soap-opera melodrama.

#1 - I bet "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" was playing on the radio when she went down....

#2 - At the market...."I must buy all of your Spam at once! And I'll take thirty cans of Treet while you're at it...one can never be too careful."

#3 - "What do you mean, why didn't I tell you? I did tell you, but everything I say, you just ignore me and nod your head like you're listening. 'Yes, dear, it's OK, dear'. How could you not listen to something so important? You unfeeling bastard!" Game, set, match.

#4 - I got nothin'.

Hmmmm

Since Jeff Chandler was an alleged cross-dresser, it raises the question of who was the one saying the quote about "another man".
