Reminder that “carpetbagger” and “Yankee” when specifically used to refer to people from the northern US are neo-confederate dogwhistles.
FORGOTTEN BLOCKBUSTERS OF THE 60S.
Every decade has its share of blockbuster hits that do not stand the test of time. Ten of the 60s biggest blockbusters that very few film fans remember fondly are Operation Petticoat (1960-4), From the Terrace (1960-10), Come September (1961-7), The World of Suzie Wong (1961-8), The VIPs (1963-7), The Carpetbaggers (1964-2), The Cardinal (1964-6), Good Neighbor Sam (1964-9), The Sandpiper (1965-7) and Lt Robin Crusoe (1966-6).
Looking at the posters, it’s easy to determine what was the big attraction at the time for most of the films, before the summer of love in 1967.
They come to town when the party's over Books been written and true's been tried They'll take it all if the doors left open Steal the nose right from under your eyes
Jenny Lewis // “Carpetbaggers (feat. Elvis Costello),” from Acid Tongue
They come to town when the party's over; Books been written and truths been tried. They'll take it all if the door's left open, Steal the nose right from under your eyes...
Singing, "I'm a carpetbagger, baby, I'm coming to your town; I'm going to treat you kind, I'm going to rob you blind, I'll smile all the time...
...saying, "I ain't got no home in this world anymore."
YESTERDAY'S VIEWING (1963) ALL AMERICAN TRASH!
