Steel crowns, Cigarettes and Beehives



Pop it on a full screen and marvel at the bad dental work (passengers), tall hair (stewards) and abundance of smokes (almost everyone). Argh! Watch the (likely) not flame retardant upholstery!

Fact: All planes of this era were flown by sentient Marlboros.

Fact: All flights were this convivial. Quick, fetch me a glass of whiskey and a bristly moustache, I want to join in.

Also, enjoy the jazz. It's quite danceable in places and picks up a heady pace as they show the luggage being loaded into the hold (rightly so. No one ever packed ANYTHING into anything else in the sixties, without being underscored by jazz.)
