@nextproject90 Knitting is more insidious than one might think. It allows a woman to be perfectly acceptable and horribly overlooked while having two very sharp and pointy sticks as potential weaponry in public places. I have this film and love it btw. Kudos!

The lady who was always knitting no matter what was going on was a real inspiration to me. She could teach a course on HOW TO KNIT YOUR WAY THROUGH ANY CRISIS. Who knows it might replace PROZAC.

Thank you for posting this. I'd heard so much about it, but I never saw it before.

@palovana9 actually, that was to represent the darkened room, nice assumption tho, with these old movies.

i wonder if Hanna Barbera Producters got the idea from this film to make the original (1969) Scooby Doo Cartoon series

great movie, but the old lady that kept knitting annoyed me
