This really is not older films but 1960 tv shows. I watch a lot of the Andy Griffith Shows and just recently saw a person of color on there for the first time I have watched it. Maybe as I progress through the series I will see more things. Also I have never EVER seen it RAIN in Mayberry? Does it EVER rain there? Also in the jail where is the bathroom in the cell? --Tom Pennock In a message dated 5/12/2009 9:55:51 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
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?
