No question that seing older (and the older the better) films that use
locatiom shooting, how often one sees the general public standing around in
the background gawping at filming going on.
It's like spectacular car chases in films where there appears to be almost
no other major traffic to get in the way.
RONIN was a fun film of the old school in many ways, but as well edited as
the car chase is, where are all the other cars?

In the older films, it's the incredible amount of cigarette smoking that
always amazes me. How did anyone live past 40 with all that second-hand
smoke? Like Phil, I also love the tight-sweatered women with boobs that'd
poke your eyes out (who engineered those bras?) and the occasional glimpse
of vintage lingerie. And have you noticed in old movies that, even on a
crowded city street, there were apparently no people of color?

YOUR FAVORITE DIVERSION FROM THE STORY?
do you like looking at the:
old street scenes?
clothing/fashion?
menu or grocery store prices?
that 1940 big buick?
those tiny airplanes?
airport security of yesteryear?
appliances, b&w televisions, radios, dial telephones?
what else?????
