Amen! I'm so glad I happened to see this. I think if a historical caveat could be boiled down to one sentence, it would be: Keep in mind the 1940s were much more about the 1930s than they were the 1950s, especially in terms of sexual mores.
I just finished writing a book about 1947, so you have really put a nickel in my slot here. A to the MEN, sister.
