We didn't need the movies to influence us- we had the NEWS.
i think movies were a huge influence the further back you go ..
especially Bogart's time, fairbanks, etc...

Music was just on records or the radio - you didnt see how they dressed or what they said (it was mostly big band)

but the movies then - were a huge influence .. especially when it came to smoking..
