This from a New York magazine poll:
Can you trust a man in a fedora?
Yes . . . . . . . 35
No . . . . . . . 22
Unsure . . . . . . . 43
If he’s Humphrey Bogart. If he’s black.
The poll wasn’t exactly scientific, but the results are troubling. Perhaps the issue is really one of brim size, as discussed earlier.
I’m pretty sure the gent in the Fedora is Fred MacMurray…

Phyllis is indeed correct, and that would be Edward G. Robinson in the background. “Double Indemnity”, I think…
