I love Walsh’s Warner period and even more those early ones (this, Roaring Twenties, Strawberry Blonde, Gentleman Jim) that seem like he is recapping 1930s American cinema. I prefer the early guys just scraping to make a living half to the plot-heavy second part, but they play off each other in fascinating ways.

No wonder Wong's characters are so attached to the moment, they can at best long for a past or future.
