“So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them.

For an older man not from Hollywood, to be on film must have been a scary thing in 1930. He had his lines memorized. He's nervous but he doesn't stumble. Imagine having that $5 gold piece now.

Fascinating to watch.
The only way I can describe that was just charming
Very, very, interesting!!!
Wow, I feel like I'm talking to a ghost
Uuuuuhhhhh I know I'm boring but oh my God!
The guy literally tied the key to the kite so Jefferson could "invent" electricity. Show some respect.
