I studied this film in film class. It was one of the first films where the queer characters don’t get punished at the end but instead get to live happily ever after. It’s also the origin of the quote “Well, nobody’s perfect.”
There is something to say about the film having outdated or arguably bigoted viewpoints it portrays, but I think it helps to recognize the reaction to the film. It was banned in a few states because it “promoted homosexuality, lesbianism and transvetism” (outdated I know). It was restricted to only adult viewings because the contents were considered objectionable. I think that says something positive about it for the time.
Late 2000s Panic! at the Disco music: Everyone in this parlor is smoking pipes and plotting murder… the man in the top hat put arsenic in your gin…… woooooooahhhh
Modern Panic! at the Disco music: Oohhh my god I’m so fucking famous (rejected Imagine Dragons guitar track with a thousand horns added on top)
might be an outlier here but when i smell my neighbors smoking weed i just smile and nod its like adjacent to hearing christmas carolers for me… good tidings and joy unto you brother
