LOVE the gingerbread and peppermint bark. I usually have their Vermont Maple Ginger when gingerbread is not in season. I am addicted. Speaking of, rn I have a cup of tea steeping that I forgot about 😅

Cinematographer Henry Sharp helped define the look of early Paramount #filmnoir with other classics such as The Glass Key (1942) and This Gun for Hire (1942). #FilmNoirClub

This sign caught my attention the first time I saw the film.
This is London during The Blitz and the sign says "Don't help the enemy."
