Jon Hamm an absolutely brilliant actor. He has such style and control. The December 20 episode was incredible. He deserves an award for this episode.

I was a young secretary in 1960. This program captures this time period and the business world with such accuracy -- the clothes, the music, the smoking and the alcohol consumption on the job, the behavior of these people and even the Time/Life book that Mrs. Draper was reading in a past episode -- all of this is absolutely authentic. Women dressed in their very best clothes for work, were relegated to lower status and pay, were not given much credit for what they did and they accepted it. We just so glad to have a job.

Thanks for this trip to the past.
