I am sure some of the customers were not too nice to the porter. In any business or trade you have good people and bad people. I have not seen this movie, but it does sound like one I would like to see. The porter's job was highly sought after though because of the tips they received. The Trains magazine had a story about a Pullman Conductor a while back, but the Conductor did have a much better job than the porter. Many friendships were started between the famous people and the porters. The porters loved to wait on certain people because they were good tippers. Many of the famous movie stars and Hollywood types road in those cars often. He may have produced a good product but he seemed to be a tight wad. It seems that George was not a nice guy, or maybe that is just what many of those who worked for him thought. I searched through all kinds of stuff on the internet. I was interested in Pullman cars and their history. I did some research about 6 months or so ago.
