shareYou like Third World women huh?
shareI'd hardly call Debra Paget a 3rd world woman.
shareI think he was referring to the setting of that picture. It looks like it's happening in some poor, developing country.
shareWell, it was supposed to happen somewhere along the Mississipi River in the United States, circa 1850. It's a production still from "The Gambler from Natchez", so if you want to consider the Antebellum American South a Third World country, that's your call.
shareNah, "Third World" is a term from the Cold War era, so it wouldn't apply to the 1850s.
shareReally? I'd never have guessed from that picture!
Because the only things in that picture that might possibly be found in 19th century America are the washing line, and the quilt hanging on it.
Hey Otter, they have these really cool things now called "movies"! In movies, people can recreate other eras and places using props and settings. Sometimes, they might not do as much research as they could, or authentic props might not be available, so they make do with what they can find. I think that's what happened when they took that picture. But do check out some of those 'movies'. They are a really cool innovation.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure they had mops and buckets in 19th century America, too.
Indeed.
shareThat's first world buddy
