So Dated with the 50s slang

I just finished watching this one on TCM. My 13 year old watched it with me and couldn't quit laughing at the silly slang and very gay tough guy portrayed by the Lou character.

I don't think it can be helped what parlance they're using the decade they film it in.

Well yeah, it was made in 1956.

Spare me from these people who watch old movies and then complain they are dated.

They need to learn about context.

I agree. I guess if they watched "Hamlet" or "MacBeth" they'll complain it's dated so not worth their time.
