For many years I have wondered why films set in the old days don't have
road surfaces which are realistic.
I did mention this to a producer of the Sherlock Holmes series with Jeremy
Brett and she said she would have a word about it. There have been some
more episodes made since then but no change.
I am talking about 'horse exhaust' of course. Someone has mentioned that,
in the 19th century, in the centre of London, street sweepers cleaned up
140 tons of horse exhaust per day; from Oxford St and Regent St alone!
Cowboys were just as pure. I have only once seen a shot from a cowboy film
where a woman was shown, in a long dress, holding it up as she crossed the
street using stepping stones. No wonder they had sidewalks!
Let's face it, it must rain even in Texas, occasionally.
I'm sure 'High Noon' took place in Wellington boots.
All quite puzzling. Even 'Blazing Saddles' has dry, clean streets.
