The review

You can hear the early sound still finding its feet. A working-class girl and a rich man, some songs, and a block party. Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell, already a pair from the silents, close behind the two biggest musicals of the year. A house can watch it. I wasn't sorry. I also wasn't full.

The romance crosses money. It is pleasant and thin. That's the whole of it, and I was glad nobody pretended otherwise. Their faces are enough for a tired hour. They are not a household.

Journal

Keep Sunny Side Up in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 39. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

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

Consider this

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 piety: He comes back for the prayer, then still gives the audience the songs.

The eight

4
Industry
She is working-class and he is rich, and no actual job is ever the point.
4
Household
A romance that crosses money, not a marriage, a parent, or a child.
2
Piety
No conscience is asked to stop the match; the songs carry them through.
3
Courage
Crossing money is the only risk, and the film keeps even that risk pleasant.
4
Republic
A block party is the neighborly piece, and it mostly exists so they can sing.
5
Temperance
Pleasant and thin, with no push to crave another want after the party.
5
Truth
The money gap is stated, and early sound doesn't pretend the story is thick.
4
Stewardship
A block party is what's left, and not much else for the people on that street.

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.
