A list-ical of things I love about films from the 1930s/40s: 

1. Love the dissolve transitions of movies past. I miss it.

2. Pan-ins against dark shadows— romantic AF.

3. The acting histrionics—it’s funny to watch. It’s distinct. Has a twinge of over-acting spirit like a musical stage play—something that would be totally appreciated in that medium today, but not so much on film.

A list-ical of things I loved about this film:

1. The variations of “Auld Lang Syne” and “Swan Lake” throughout were enticing. 

2. Vivian Leigh really acted with that damn eyebrow. 

3. Incredible, and ironic, climax—looking for a john, and ended up finding her john.

4. The post-climax reflection of how Myra’s (Leigh) harbors guilt was cool.

5. Omg, showing a handwritten letter as a transition tool! Sign o’ the times!

6. Virginia Field was dope in the supporting role.

7. Robert Taylor’s mustache looked funny. 😂😂😂
