Our Comments: √ 10-05-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS). The checkmark means we own it. This is a fine classic film that presents a look into 1903/1904 St. Louis family life leading up to the World’s Fair. It’s a pretty nice classic but could have been better crafted. In its slight awkwardness, it lacks some of the well rounded, easy-to-watch feel of the very best classics of the 30’s to early 60’s. And why put in that scene about the town kids at Halloween running amuck? At any rate, it’s still quite a nice film and may be worth it if you’re in the mood for a 40’s classic. Enjoyment rating: 3.5 star.
