How reassuring, to know that I am not the only one who likes to turn on certain old films while I'm doing things around the house. Yes! I do want to inhabit that world even though it is a Hollywood version of a simpler world that probably has never existed. I love to study the set designs, cars, props, costumes, manners and expressions.
In films made in the forties and fifties, the living rooms look so livable. I love how everyone has a tea set. Nobody I know owns a tea set!
I even like the stupid doilies on the armchairs and neat polished tables and the way the bedrooms look so tidy and perfect. A far cry from my chaotic world, and a lovely escape.

Just as an aside, I collect tea sets. If you want to see any every mantle and some shelves in my house are loaded with them!

I absolutely love this post. I completely agree with you. Even if it never existed, it's what makes that world so much more wonderful and it's why I love old movies. It was a simpler time. I know there are those that will dispute it, but as I collective whole I mean.

@ Stargazer
I'm pretty sure he didI read that they were married in real life after this movie was made, so I was on the lookout for any odd interactions between "mother" and "son"I noticed the smooch that you noticed, so that makes at least two of us who think they kissed on the mouth

I noticed 2 mouth-to-mouth kisses between "mother" and "son". Creepy.

Kisses on the mouth between relatives weren't always seen as "creepy". It's not like they had their mouths open

Upside down pipe smoking shows up in other films as well. During the war it was for the blackouts. But people also often smoked pipes upside down in the rain and snow. I've done it before, many years ago when I was still smoking. One just has to tamp the tobacco down well in the bowl. There are also some upside down pipes designed to be lit from the bottom. At least there used to be, but I'm not sure they still make them.

I also believe this is a slip on Pidgeon's part, as I explain on my Greer Garson Glorification web site.
There is a more obvious goof made by Greer herself very early in the film when she's on the phone to "Sophie".
"I'll tell him after night after dinner tonight."
