Proof here: [http://memory.loc.gov/mbrs/lcmp002/m2a36374.mpg](http://memory.loc.gov/mbrs/lcmp002/m2a36374.mpg) Those old films are really neat. Nice to see tax dollars at work in a way I can enjoy. ---

You should warn people about the size of the movie your link downloads. Some of us still have dial up connections. I assume your talking about the famous dress-being-blown-up-on-the-grate scene. To be fair she didn’t write the scene. **Marilyn Monroe** : “I don’t know why everyone is making such a bit deal. After all, I’m only a woman.” **Charlie McCarthy** : “Yea, but you’re so GOOD at it.” ---

Not only is it long, it’s _boring_. Nothing happens until the last 5 seconds of a two-minute clip, and even then it’s pretty lame.
