Health Food, Nudists, a Gay Couple reference-in 1955!


I mean-two interior decorators living upstairs??

Nothing changes like the Powhattan Native Americans 500 years ago.

Yes, you can tell it was written by a gay man :)

Yeah, I noticed that too when I first saw this movie because I wasn't expecting there to be a vegetarian health nut restaurant in the '50s, then the mention of the two interior decorators upstairs (I wonder if people got that reference back in the 1950's?).

Prior to the Hays Code of 1934, there was nudity, implied sex, and homosexuality in movies and Betty Boop. They had to code it as "interior decorators" after that.

There have always been lunatics. The difference is, we used to laugh at them, but now they rule us.
