Grantchester is set in the 1950s near Cambridge. Black people would have been uncommon in a small village, but by no means impossible - lots arrived from the late 40 from Commonwealth countries to take jobs in transport, medication and other short-staffed fields (they were invited here and even had their journey paid for).
People from the Indian subcontinent have also been pretty widespread in the UK since the 50s, and many work in the NHS, which means that some would have ended up living in small villages. Interracial dating in the 50s was highly frowned upon, but being friends and going out for a coffee wouldn’t have been weird in the slightest.
A lot of people thought “The Hurt Locker” was a documentary because it was shot on videotape, but there was a blooper that made that impossible. Early in the movie, a soldier is defusing an IED, and “There’s an Iraqi with a video camera; he’s probably going to put this on You Tube.” The movie is set in the fall of 2004, and You Tube didn’t debut until early 2005.
Also, in the movie “127 Hours”, the actor’s facial hair never changes.
It doesn’t get any better, sorry. At least you saved yourself some time by quitting early. We watched four episodes.
I have no idea what movie this was from, but not long ago, I saw a clip from a movie set in the 1960s.
It showed a group of hippies, frolicking unclad.
The women all had Brazilians.
Shaved underarms, on women only, would have been quite possible in the 1960’s; although hippies might not have shaved theirs, most women in the USA did. Men did not.
Nobody, of any gender, shaved or trimmed their pubes in the 60’s.
Nitpick: I know how you meant it, but we all know rule 34, and people were into the shaved look certainly in the 60s, so there were people who trimmed their pubes.
I remember when Playboy started showing pubic hair in the late '60s and early '70s. It was a big deal. It wasn’t until the early '90s that I started seeing shaved pubes in any magazine.
And that would include movies featuring nude scenes with older actors and actresses. The most recent example I can think of was that skinny-dipping scene in “Nomadland.” As a post-menopausal woman myself, I can assure anyone who saw that, that Frances McDormand’s ladygarden probably does not really look like that. Of course, only William H. Macy would really NEED to know.
I caught an episode of The Sister Boniface Mysteries tonight, in which one of the female cast responded to a statement by saying “Roger that!”
The show is set in the early 1950s, and I don’t recall ever hearing that phrase prior to Vietnam (and maybe even later). I think the first time I actually encountered it was in a Tom Clancy novel.
