Bing 's way of lighting a match
I love the way Bing lights a match with his thumb nail. Especially in "Rhythm on the River". So sexy! Did many men do that back then? In other movies, I've seen men light a match on a wall and on a shoe but never with their thumb nail.

Since I don't smoke, I can barely light a match the regular way - let alone the great ways Bing did! LOL

Re: Bing 's way of lighting a match
Another 'lighting' scene I liked in Rhythm on the River saw Bing mending a puncture in the tube just as my father did and I was fascinated as he ignited the patch (for which I can't recall the name).
