Just wondered if you (or anyone) ever went to see the film?

: I began practicing law in 1980, and when we filed prospectuses
: with the SEC, they were done in "hot lead". The
: financial print shops, in Lower Manhattan, were absolutely
: amazing, as the floors had to be very thick, to support all the
: equipment and the lead for the type.

: With the "hot type", whenever we made the slightest
: change on a page of a prospectus, we had to proofread the entire
: page, for fear that the lines could have been put in the wrong
: order, retyped, etc. The younger lawyers would go to the
: financial printers and do nothing more than proofreading. Yes, I
: was a "younger lawyer" in the 1980s!!

: "Cold type" probably arrived in the mid-1980s, although
: there were some clients that insisted on "hot type",
: for the sake of reliability. You know how it is . . . getting
: the old timers to trust the new technology.

: Can't wait to see the movie!!
