Best friend from high school schooled me about some very unique points of this film -- all of the films shots are composed to avoid any modern appurtenances -- remember they couldn't fix it in post. So, as a period piece it's masterful -- showing Hollywood and Los Angeles as it would've looked back in the 1930's! Also, notice the theme of water -- remember LA used to be dry...having money meant you could water a lawn, thus water becomes a bit actor in the story of haves and have-nots. Props to the director and cinematographer!

Thank you, Mike Wyatt...you could have taught film history and written for comedians!
