    Westerns

    One great western from the 50's is Winchester '73 . It stars Jimmy Stewart, and it shows on TV from time to time.

    War of the Worlds

    To take Swinggal's comments a bit further, some classic stories don't translate well in a modern setting. For example, Sherlock Holmes stories work best set in Victorian England.

    City Heat - A 1930s era oddity

    If I remember correctly, there were two or three improvements made to the 1911 in 1926: one was a lenthened grip safety tang to prevent hammer bite to the hand, a second change was replacing the flat main spring housing with a curved one to allow a better grip, and the third change was a trigger...

    Old Magazines

    Yep, that guy has the look of the 30's and 40's. However, he should really button or snap the top of his pants; the neighbors might talk.

    Old Magazines

    I prefer the pulp magazines from the 20's, 30's, and 40's. The ads as well as the stories take you back to a simpler time.

    The Best of the Best

    Thanks Wolf, I check PulpGen once a week for downloadable reprints. If anyone wants more pulp sources check ThePulp.net. There are a number of small publishers that reprint pulp stories. Yes, I have seen "Red Dust" and "Test Pilot" and count them among my favorite movies from the '30s.

    The Best of the Best

    I, too, liked the Green Hornet and Shadow radio programs. Of the hero pulps, the best were Doc Savage, The Shadow, and The Spider. However, my favorite pulp magazines were the general adventure pulps, such as Adventure, Argosy, Blue Book, and Short Stories. The period between the wars was the...

    How did they keep those hats on?

    According to Clayton Moore in his autobiography, he inserted surgical tubing inside the hat band to keep his hat on. I always thought it looked odd for hats to stay on during those furious serial fistfights.
