Return To The Early Sixties…
April 2nd, 2007 – ikeman
Over the weekend I happened to catch an old Doris Day / James Garner movie - “Move Over Darling“. I’d seen the show before but it had been a long time… I decided to watch the show from a designer’s perspective. It’s amazing to see how much the design of today parallels that of the early sixties. Not only in dress, but in the interior design, etc. I sometimes wish that I could jump back in time to experience what it might have been like to live and work in that time. The world was a simpler safer place. However I don’t think I’d last long without the the personal computer & internet unless I was able to erase such things from my remembrance.
Anyway, the world is what you make of it… I think because of the information age we’re more readily informed about the wickedness that goes on this world and so we take more precautions to lock-up and keep a short leash on our kids but in all reality I don’t know that we or our kids are any more likely to fall prey to those that would do them harm…? But that’s an entirely different subject all unto itself… and I don’t feel like dwelling anymore on that.
I guess my main purpose for writing on this is to draw similarities between today’s design and that of the early sixties…

I must admit, huge Doris Day fan that I am, that I prefer the original “My Favorite Wife” with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. I still enjoy “Move Over Darling”, but the best Doris Day - James Garner movie, in my opinion, is “That Touch of Mink.” (If you can get past the mind-boggling sexism, of course.)

Aak! “That Touch of Mink” was Cary Grant and Doris Day. “The Thrill of it All” was the movie I was thinking of, I promise.
