And I saw that movie when it came out back in the late sixteen hundreds. Troy Donahue wsas working 24 hour days trying to learn the tobacco business...kinda like arist trying to map out life ... most without a plan but plenty of 'gustimations...lol

Artist Reply: Glad someone besides me saw the movie. It wasn't a blockbuster, to be sure, but certainly provided a nice glimpse of Connecticut. Thanks for stopping by to take a look.
