Back in the 40s and 50s we saw a lot of
- Hirschfield art
- Westerns with young woman holding leg of man with smoking gun
- Musicals with couple in a sweeping dance move. Usually yellow or white background.
- Still a lot of floating heads.
etc.
I expect if I made an effort, I could create the same sort of composite just with movies from the 40s and 50s.
