The review

Third Warner musical of the year, and this time the clock is the story. Cagney builds the live shows that play before the pictures. He has to invent new ones before a rival steals them. He dances. The work is the deadline. I know a week that feels like that, and the hurry is the honest part.

Berkeley builds a waterfall of women. The numbers are the product, and the women are arranged. A house can watch it. Give the deadline its due. Don't treat the waterfall as if those women had been asked. You can like Cagney moving and still see the product sitting on top of the job.

Journal

Keep Footlight Parade in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 39. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

The Jazz Singer

50 instead of 39

The Jazz Singer is still a musical film, and it scores 50 instead of 39. What you gain is household: A cantor and his son: the father wanted the other life, and the split is real.

The eight

8
Industry
He builds live prologues on a deadline before a rival can steal them.
2
Household
No parent, marriage, or child is a life; the theater is the whole house.
2
Piety
A rival is the spur, and no conscience steps in to slow the next prologue.
6
Courage
He risks the job on new shows a rival will steal if the deadline slips.
3
Republic
The debt is a rival and a house that plays pictures, not a town or a law.
3
Temperance
Each stolen idea feeds the next number, and the waterfall asks for one more.
4
Truth
The theft threat is plain; the numbers sell an arrangement as if it were the labor.
3
Stewardship
A deadline is met, and what remains is product: women arranged as a waterfall.

A Streetcar Named Desire

39Leave it.

Adult, and too many men wanted to be the husband. That is reason enough to skip it.

The review

She has already lost the family estate when she shows up at her sister's in New Orleans. She still wants to be someone the world bows to. The husband is force, and the house is his. A sister is caught between them. I knew that shape, and it still sat badly.

There is sexual cruelty near the end. I will not describe it. This is not a family evening. A lot of men wanted to be that husband, and that fact sits on the film heavier than the acting. It tells the truth about force and about a gentility that cannot pay its way. It also recruited. I can grant the first and still leave it off the shelf.
