@ctmillion.bsky.socialYep, my dad, who grew up in NYC, talked about getting a sack of 20 White Castle burgers for a buck. He said they were not great, but filling.
@ctmillion.bsky.socialLand yacht! I think my family had the 1972 version when I was a kid.

@ctmillion.bsky.socialI'm pretty sure that Leslie Nielsen was mostly channeling Sterling Hayden from #CrimeWave when he did Police Squad and the Naked Gun films. #NoirAlley #TCMParty
@ctmillion.bsky.socialDon't know about him in a film noir, but Gene Nelson was multi-talented. Here he is the same year as #CrimeWave.
