Great video! I think the museum may be eligible to get in The Guiness Record Book for the museum with the least amount of exhibits.

We really need to go back to the old designs of McDonald's. The modernization of everything is so boring and unappealing.

In the film, Michael gives Elizabeth a home tour. Elizabeth notices a photo of Michael with Eleanor Roosevelt. That may have happened. Mary Martin gives an interview gor the play " I do, I do" . She tells that Eleanor Roosevelt attended opening night. She visited Mary initially and Mary knocked on Bob's dressing room door to introduce him to the First Lady. She said that he answered the door in his boxers! I hope he got a picture !
