I love the whole retro scene, and black and white movies are all we watch in this house. These images are just what I happen to like...love Jimmy Stewart, Bogie, Hitchcock, twilight zone and of course the Wizard of Oz.

Photo reblogged from Old Hollywood with 147 notes

oldhollywood: “Witness Mr. Henry Bemis, a charter member in the fraternity of dreamers. A bookish little man whose passion is the printed page but who is conspired against by a bank president and a wife and a world full of tongue-cluckers and the unrelenting hands of a clock. But in just a moment Mr. Bemis will enter a world without bank presidents or wives or clocks or anything else. He’ll have a world all to himself, without anyone. Henry Bemis, now just a part of a smashed landscape, just a piece of the rubble, just a fragment of what man has deeded to himself. Mr. Henry Bemis…in the Twilight Zone.” -Rod Serling, “Time Enough to Last” (1959) (online here), The Twilight Zone
