Per IMdB… this is from Missile Monsters (1958) …. a feature film made by editing footage from the 1950 serial “Flying Disc Man from Mars,” with nothing added.

It stars Walter Reed, Lois Collier, and James
Craven. One caption says this is Reed, but I can’t guarantee it.

It’s a cat.

Did you REALLY expect anything different?

As has been said here before …. any crash you can walk away from.

Unfortunately, the doors are a bit hard to walk through at the moment.

But wait… the windshield seems to be available.

Open the sunroof.

I thought that too… But it looks like it might just be a moon roof, ie, a window that doesn’t open.

The windshield, though, might all be in pieces on the ground… though I can’t tell, cos that horizontal line across it might mean half is still there.

Windscreen is still in place, the horizontal line is a reflection I think. The glass on the ground looks to be from the side window, the windscreen will be of the laminated type as it forms part of the shell’s structure nowadays.
Haven’t come across a moonroof before, used to sunroofs, but did have a Peugeot 407SW that had what was called a ‘Panoramic roof’, essentially the whole roof was one sheet of glass. There was a retractable cover underneath, but the glass itself was fixed in place and didn’t open.

Yeah… I couldn’t decide whether that line was a reflection, or the irregular white-ish strip along the bottom edge was the broken edge of the glass.

Plus the reflections on the hood (bonnet) don’t continue onto the windshield(screen?). Then again, it’s at a different angle, so the sun might not hit that way

My 1990 Ford Taurus station wagon had a moon roof. It had a shade you could pull across underneath, if the sun was making it hot, but it didn’t open.

I was jealous of ones that did. They’re options; the original owner chose the cheaper one.(I bought it in 2002 with only 117,000 miles on it.)

When I was young, a lot of European cars had sunroofs but they were rare or non-existent on American cars.

Kind of chic and exotic on imports.

4.6 to 6,000,000 is quite a range…

Actually, they’re young newsboys, in St Louis , MO, in 1910.
Most were around 10 or 11 years old, some the family breadwinner.

The laws already said they had to be in school… but they obviously were not. Smoking was another act of defiance.

The photo was taken by Lewis Hine, professor of sociology and muckraking photographer, at that time working for the National Child Labor Committee. His exposure of children and the conditions under which they worked led to some of the first laws against it.

Not going to spoiler-box this cos I kinda doubt anybody’s even trying to guess….

(If you were, and I spoiled it, I’m sorry. Let me know, and I won’t make that assumption next time. 🙂 )

Meanwhe, this is Helen Mack and Robert Armstrong… plus a teeny bit of giant ape… in “Son of Kong”, from 1933.

Well, it worked for a while….

I haven’t had time to play in the street.
But I fell asleep trying to finish this.

I’ve got all but two… And one is so simple I’m surprised I haven’t seen it.

I’ll try to substitute the completed version tomorrow… If I manage to complete it, of course 🙂

(… and I did, finally. The banana was actually the hardest to see.)

Ok… I think this is all nineteen now…

AI can be so creepy when it’s trying to be cute.

Its little “brain” absorbs that humans like both fluffy white kitties and cozy fleece jackets, but of course, without human understanding, it doesn’t know not to combine them in horror movie fashion.

You might think Claude was no help at all….
But actually, he gave Clara a better excuse to call a handyman…. he would have argued, if it were merely for a stuck drawer.

But wait… he broke the countertop…. might as well make it a carpenter. About time you got new counters, isn’t it?

Say, Clara, you might as well call a contractor. I mean, you know, if you’re getting new counters and cabinets… there are a few other things to upgrade at the same time…. it’ll save money in the long run.

Wow, thanks Claude.
