The pacing feels just right for a 30s film—not too slow, keeping you engaged with a mix of witty banter and heartfelt moments. The practical effects aren’t groundbreaking, but there’s a certain charm in how they convey the emotional stakes. It’s the performances and the nuanced writing that stand out here, making it a noteworthy entry in the genre.
