When I was a kid, the channel AMC (now home to original programming like "The Walking Dead") was known for playing classic oldie movies (after all, "AMC" stands for American Movie Classics). Being the cinema lover that I was, I loved watching the old Katherine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara films.  There's just something about those Hollywood golden years, and the beautiful, feminine style of the 40's and 50's.  I always loved the women in their dresses (although I didn't envy the girdles you know they were wearing underneath to get their trim little waists.)
