Lonesome About
Lonesome

A charming little film of great warmth and energy, with some fine performances from Barbara Kent and Glenn Tryon. The film might be too energetic, though, it gets borderline frantic at times -- was Coney Island really that crazy?

    From everything I've seen, Coney Island really WAS that crazy (with floors that moved all around, knocking people over; people were much more carefree about the "thrill rides" of the times).

    I didn't mean the rides as such, I meant the total blow-out crowds with all the confetti and what seems like thousands of people all frantically dancing and moving around en masse, like Times Square on New Year's Eve -- was Coney Island really as crazy as that?

    The 4th Of July makes sense, thanks for pointing that out!
