It was better than I expected considering it was made in 1936. Unfortunately the sound quality was less than perfect, so much of the ideas behind it were lost to me.
This was a good story and should have been a great film, but something was lacking. It was all a bit sketchy and vague.
Relentlessly down in the mouth. Not a glimmer of anything uplifting, happy or hopeful. Just grime, sweat and misery.
Very enjoyable, but in the last episode I was puzzled to see a woman with a trendy short haircut. It looked completely out of place. I wonder if women really had hair like that then.
