Well, thank you, Hitch.
To be honest, I wonder how Mitchum knew about it, since in the '50's and '60's, menstruation was considered "shameful", a secret to be kept from men.
Not unlike ancient times, when menstruants were isolated.
See Anita Diament's novel "The Red Tent".
There's an interesting story about your namesake, Hitch.
Ol' Alfred was directing a movie, and he instructed an actress to get into water.
When she tried to explain why she couldn't, he was astounded; it was the first time he knew that women had monthly periods!
I think this was before he married Alma and sired Pat.
