You’ll never see an aging actress in a hat and dress shopping in a supermarket these days, but the most surprising thing about that film is how little supermarkets have changed: the meat is still in styrofoam and shrink wrapped, the lobsters are still plucked from the tank, and the toy vending machines are still by the door.

There's something really nice about the 60s footage. I feel so happy looking at it. I was born in 82 so really not that far away but I used to think it was so.
I don't know what it was. Maybe more trust and social cohesiveness? But we're not seeing the harder lack of human rights. This is a time when the My Lai massacre would have occured by American troops in Vietnam.
Still, I like the modesty. Dressing up like the Queen Mother to go out. Why on Earth does no one dress up anymore? As if they will be ridiculed for dressing up and giving a damn. It's little things like that that give meaning to life. I can't imagine any person of Walmart existing in that time. What happened? Hippie rebellion anti-war counter culture? No wonder the establishment didn't like them. Filthy Godless boho degenerates.

I think only Joan Crawford types dressed up to go to the super market.
Though you did put on “nicer” clothes. At home, you wore casual clothes to do work or play and when you went “downtown” you put on better clothes for public.
I still do this actually...I seldom leave the house in my sloppy lounge pants and crummy sweats. I put on a cute outfit.

I wear sweats around my house but I just can't go out in public wearing them. I have to put on a pair of pants or jeans. And I'm not **that** old, early 40s. I guess I'm just old-fashioned. Even if I wore sweatpants that were brand new, I would still feel like a low class slob if I wore them out of the house.

"Do we think Joan ever bought any groceries in her life?"
I've heard that some rich people do their own grocery shopping, they're afraid that if the cook is let loose with the Bristol Farms credit card, she'll stock her own family's refrigerator with organic chateaubriand and white truffles. Besides, if Joan had only the one servant, she may have had to pitch in with a bit of domestic stuff herself on occasion, I mean she claimed to cook for her own dinner parties and IF that's true she may have wanted to shop for the groceries herself rather than send Mamacita back to return the inferior olives she got and get the *right* kind, with guests on the way and by now they knew to be punctual for Joan's dinner parties!
At that point, didn't Joan just have a small apartment in Los Angeles, while she officially lived in New York?

Gawd, I HATE Joan's hat!
I hate the up-brim girlish hats that respectable women wore in the 1960s, they looked ridiculous on anyone over 21. Suzanne Pleshette wore one in "If this is Teusday, it must be Belgium", and she was in her 20s and it looked all wrong for a sophisticated grownup woman. And on sixty-ish Joan it looks ludicrous, like her hair wasn't in a fit state to be seen by her public, so she grabbed the little girl's hat and used it as cover.
The hippie chicks were wearing floppy hats back then, which weren't very attractive but which weren't as ugly as this thing.
