Oooh, this was fun. Format-wise, it would be interesting paired with Chopsticks, though this one follows a more conventional plot which unfolds via a scrapbook of vintage 1920s ephemera. I think I enjoyed it more having just watched "Midnight in Paris." I also keep running into automats in my reading, something I just learned about (or, more likely, just re-learned) this year. Also, I didn't know (or, more likely, remember) anything about pneumatic mail: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumati... 
 "The most congenial spot for the unemployed is the Automat in Times Square. Search the want ads, read a novel, scribble out a story without any dirty looks from a waitress. Sit undisturbed from 8 until 6 -- like going to an office. All that's required is spending a nickel every few hours on a bowl of oatmeal, an egg salad sandwich, a slice of pie (lemon meringue highly recommended), and yet another cup of coffee." 
 Sounds like today's coffee shops!! :)

 1. Oliver does love me, but it's love without passion. (Could only kiss me when he was drunk!) 
 2. At heart, I'm just like all those Vassar girls who only want rings on their fingers. 
 3. I say I want to be a writer, but all I've done so far is write True Stories. 
 4. It's time for a drastic change!" (hide spoiler)]
