Nice medley, but I always lose my suspension of disbelief when a WW2 era performance includes an inter-racial couple. It just stands out as something you wouldn't see back then, just like if someone just pulled out their cell phone and started texting. Just because it's a part of our history we aren't proud of is no reason to white wash over it, in fact I feel it's all the more reason to remember how we were back then, so we don't go backwards, and to help keep in mind that, as repressed as we are as a society, we've come a long way, baby.
