Fun, Len. You enticed me to find the movie Laura online yesterday and I watched it. I enjoy old movies like this too. It's always fun to look for fountain pens and related items, as well as to just take in the ambiance of the era.

I found it amusing to see the detective (played by Dana Andrews) preoccupied throughout the movie with the little handheld bead game. It was almost as though it was a precursor to today's cell phone distraction.
