The thing that I find interesting about this film is that it’s timeless. It is as engaging and interesting now as it was when it came out, despite the technological limitations of the time.

What I’m interested in is how they did this.

The limitations of being in black in white, lower film quality, no ability for special effects, different dimensions and the different filming/acting/story style of the time, have not effected the quality of the experience.

They created a script that used the medium to its fullest advantage.

Characterisation and casting were the standouts of this film.

The characters were so well developed that the plot did not seem to be written, the characters seemed to just react as they would as people, because they were so convincingly people.
