This is a tepid, dull film that doesn't have anything very important found within it.
The actors are extremely unbelievable in the shoddy one dimensional roles and what we learn is that people treated everyone with extreme cruelty in the 1930's, as if they owned everyone. Nothing has changed eh?
There's plenty of shouting, to no effect, plenty of dismal one line jokes, and an extreme amount of overacting, not to mention a denigration of women as objects.
The script is horrendous, it's the type of common and ordinary story telling found at boringly repetitious big studios only trying to make a buck.
The small plot seems to have been written by someone under contract at one of the big movie studios (no character development, no complicated interactions, no involved dialogue).
I just could not believe the amount of exemplary praise this movie receives from everyone; it's entirely average and lackluster.
The ending was rather forced and seemed incomplete, divulging absolutely nothing at all to the audience except to believe that the "show was a hit".
The music montages were sung by out of tune jokers about "love & train hopping".
What I can substantiate is that people were pretty mindless in the 1930's and only sought some amount of cheap distraction such as this, much like audiences of today.
Avoid at all costs.
