The title promises some norm bashing culture shift, but it seems the new morals are indistinguishable from the old. Will this generation be the first to NOT become their parents?
Robert Young comes across as a whimpering, squeaky voiced, na'er-do-well. Margaret Perry is the playful coquette sister in the expensive flattering clothes. They are both sleeping past the crack of noon and, get this, "going about."
This brother and sister show a great deal of physical attention to one another. They hug, dance, kiss and caress more than any of the romantic couples. Some of the kisses are full on the mouth. For these people "like you kiss your sister" has a whole new meaning.
ODDS AND ENDS
The party hosts explains a painting she'd overpaid for, "He didn't paint the goat, he painted the bleat."
Duff Wilson says "Can't we go someplace else?" Then he and Phyl move two feet to the left and kiss again.
Not sure where the down-low couple are staying. When the neighbor from the flat next door apologizes for the noise from the night before due to "a couple of out-of-town buyers" it seems that they're not in the best part of town. This neighbor offers Phyl a money making opportunity with some other Johns, uhhh friends (nothing new about those morals).
A bathtub is described as having "more rings than a pawn brokers widow."
It is a poignant moment when Mom dines at her empty table with a ticking clock, 1933 empty nest.
The art teacher insults Ralph, "You are not the first to mistake the desire for the ability." Then cuts him down in a way similar to what happened to me when a teacher called me a natural illustrator. Like Ralph, I can still quote the teacher's comment exactly.
The passage of time is shown with written panels. When Ralph goes to Paris it says "10 days later." Could this be how long it took for one to cross the Atlantic by ship?
SMOKING RITUAL
Here smoking is used to emphasize the sketchiness of a situation.
No smoking at all among the lead characters.
The siblings walk in to the swanky party where several women are seen puffing on their cigarillos. Women smoking is particularly edgy.
Two women puff heavily in the background when Young hits the buffet at the party.
Some smoking among the students in the life drawing class in Paris. I wonder if they have the ability?
