The review

The ledgers cannot agree whether this was the money film of its year. A college boy on the run hides in Mexico and is forced to pass as a bullfighter. Eddie Cantor. The bullring is the climax. The plot is a chase and a song. I misplaced the chase halfway through and kept the rest.

Blackface numbers are in the picture. A house that watches it has to name the makeup. That's the fact, not a sidebar. The ring and the songs are what the night thinks it is. If you won't say the makeup, don't put it on.

Journal

Keep The Kid from Spain in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 23. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

36 instead of 23

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is still a musical film, and it scores 36 instead of 23. What you gain is truth: It tells the truth that the avenger cannot see: the woman he mourns is in the room.

The eight

3
Industry
He is forced to pass as a bullfighter, a disguise rather than a job he learned.
2
Household
A college boy on the run, and no marriage or child is a life in the chase.
1
Piety
Nothing in the picture stops the blackface numbers or the fake bullfighter.
4
Courage
The bullring is a climax he is forced into, a risk he did not choose.
2
Republic
Mexico is a hiding place, and the makeup pays nothing to the people it mocks.
2
Temperance
A chase and a song keep feeding the next gag, blackface numbers included.
2
Truth
Passing as a bullfighter is the lie, and blackface is another the film plays.
2
Stewardship
What's left is a chase, a ring, and makeup a house still has to name.

The review

They changed the human so the machine could stay. A Texas inventor and his daughter are a better shape than the last boy, for about twenty minutes. Then the film remembers what it is selling, and the daughter becomes a reason to move the metal to the next city.

There is no evening in this house that needs it. If the box is already in the room, it can leave the room.
