I saw this film on DVD. It was part of a package of 50 old films - it hadn't been restored and appeared much older than its 50 years. I had trouble reading the titles and credits.
What ever happened to all those old cinemas? This is one of them. In one scene the projectionist is having a horrid time and the film burns causing a "melt" before the audience. I experienced this at a local theatre in Papua New Guinea and it took me right back. And how the audience would tolerate it. Well sort of.
The scene where the three old codgers watch a silent film is very touching. In fact, I thought this would surface again in the film but it didn't.
It was delightful. The ending is not your stereotypical Hollywood film that we accept as the norm.
If you can get this film - it is well worth the watch.
