A habit I have developed from watching old movies is taking inflation into account whenever somebody mentions money. In The Harder They Fall, when Humphrey Bogart’s wife doesn’t sound enthusiastic about the job he’s taken, Bogey says, “don’t knock it, it pays a thousand a month, and expenses.” In 1956, $1000 was equivalent to $11,000 today. Good money for the unemployed boxing columnist Bogart played in his final film role.
