I love the romance of the '40s. It was the perfect time to live. Technology wasn't so advanced that it made life more difficult, but it was just enough that you can send a phone call or a telegram.

Even men who share their personal experiences find that, instead of empathy, they get the response Dear Abby gave this man: 'Women have it worse.'
