★★★★★ · What a wonderful film, lot's of memories · acmeron · 2004-01-25
My mom had a beauty shop in the front of our house from 1938 through the 70's. This film is exactly what it looked like in the early years. I especially liked seeing the old heated permanent wave machine. It looks like some invader from Mars with tentacles.
