This is not a comedy! I'll say it again to those who read between the lines and ignore the facts. Even for the year it was made, this is not a comedy. People who believe this film is a comedy are the same people who think the Last Temptation of Christ is an Easter movie. This is not a comedy. Even to your far left "black comedies" this is not a movie you would want to watch because it is funny. Then again, let me also state, that this was a good movie for its time. Yes, its a classic, yes it will stand the test of time. But No! No! This is not a comedy let alone of the top ten 100 comedies of all time. It is a movie that laughs at the classes. Kind of like a Charlie Chaplin film with sound and without a funny comic like Chaplin. It is a 30's off beat drama about the struggles of a class system that has nothing better to do but have dinner at 8. What do you think........
