*Good morning to you, good morning to you
We’re all in our places with sunshine faces
Oh, this is the way to start a new day!
(Singing this while both of them were literally not sunshine faces)*
They match well together, but Chet really needs to control himself. I was happy with the way things ended between them, but they should’ve shown him changing his ways, because it would never work otherwise

I'm going to attribute my indifference to this film to coming in eight minutes late and not being interested in the first 10 to 20 minutes. I will say this, though: it was much darker and a bit more somber than I expected, with hope at the end. However, I was surprised by it for its time.
