Wonderful portrayal of young girls in the 1930's looking to better themselves. The apartment where Blondie lives with her family is a great example of working class life. The style of clothing and makeup is a true rendition of life in the 1920's. I believe this movie allows us a look back on what life was like back then. A classic movie.
I loved Blondie's mannerisms in the first part of the movie. She played an innocent, naive girl and was very good at it. However, after she makes it "big" she changes into somewhat of a snob, but only when talking to "Mr." For the most part,she is still the lovable main character of the movie. Although I do get the impression that she is trying to be something she is not. Maybe that was intentional. As the actress who plays Blondie is also the producer this might have been something she was trying to get across. It was unusual for women to be producers in movies in the 1930's but this actress was "friends" with William Randolph Hearst and was given free reign.
One has to realize when viewing the movie what life was like back then and not compare it to life today. As vaudeville was not far gone when this movie was made, it seems more like a vaudeville show than a movie as the actors wait for each to say their lines until the next starts.
