It felt really authentic (and convinced me I would never have wanted to live in that era, upstairs or down). I agree that the US ones were pretty bad. <br /><br />I never saw 1940s house -- I am going to have to hunt it down, now.

She had somewhat of a "growth/learning experience" out of the whole thing.<br /><br />While the history had to be fudged a bit (IIRC), it did make the attempt at authenticity.Faith Wallishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077049037536302869noreply@blogger.com
