It’s funny you mention about the movies of yesteryear. I watched an old Hitchcock show and an old Night Galley a few nights ago. The Hitchcock one featured an weird old landlady playing church hymns as she taxidermied her male guests. The Night Gallery was about a “sin eater” who had to eat food around a dead person so their sins would be forgiven. The start of Hollywood’s attack against God? I think.
Interesting theory. I have not seen that film, now I’ll have to.
I watch shows like ADAM-12 and Dragnet on RTV. Did those shows really take place in the USA?
