Same here. Way before my time, but I love the old black and whites where there was dialogue and a moral compass. Movies turned dark in the 1960 and they have been darker ever since.
Indeed. Take a look sometime, give it some thought. I really cannot think of a single aspect of life that did not go downhill, as in watershed, during the ‘60s.
Even the dogs went bad. No, I am not kidding.
By the way, ultimate blame in this country: Dr. Spock.
