I have been watching old movies. I like comedies the best. It's my go to for stress. There are 2 on Prime. 1. Holliday with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn. It was made in 1938. 2. Born Yesterday with Judy Holliday and William Holden. There is a scene where they talk about selfishness and fascism. Corelation between today and the story. The movie was made in 1950.
From the 1938, 1950 to today. What a complete turn around. But they show that the danger has been lying here in wait.
