Funny things in old movies

Just watching some older films today and in "The Golden Arrow" I noticed, aside from Tab Hunter's rather lamentable costumes, that the sound effects for the flying carpets remind me of jet engines. I can guess why the sound was chosen, but it struck me as humorous.

Later, watching "Charade" I was laughing at the methods used to make sure Audrey's deceased husband was actually deceased and not just faking it, such as a mirror under the nostrils or jabbing his hand with a pin.

There really isn't much of a point to this, except to note some observations.
