watch the beautifully restored print on tcm and i have to remind myself that this be the early 1930 while it have a certain contemporary feel and which belie the fact the film be make 70 year ago . what seem blatantly racist in 2004 be really quite realistic in 1934 and not to mention that the novel be write some year before that . an audience need to accept the storyline a be and and marvel in the excellent production of the picture and the marvelous performance . i find it to be historical rather than date . although that last line be and inarguably and ridiculous . watch it and enjoy it . that sure do not make em like that any more .
