At lunchtime today, I turned on the TV and saw the last two minutes of The Desperate Hours, starring Humphrey Bogart and Frederick March. I've never seen the film before and so was stunned by what I saw: March walking into a house that looked like that of the Cleaver family from Leave It to Beaver. Not the house from the early years, but the last few seasons. A Google search showed that mine isn't the only Baby Boomer mind cluttered with unnecessary facts and images. March really was in Beaver's house.
Here's a picture of the first Cleaver house.
How many brain cells do we waste on memories like this one?
[UPDATE, 8/29/2012: Because the link above doesn't work, here's a new one that gives the rundown on Beaver's house. Later, Marcus Welby moved in.]
