Bootleg, slightly cropped/compressed to fs, faded, blurry.
FA only social dances, but the script jokes that many women at the party, young and old, want to dance with him.
I've long loved this movie, and am grateful that I finally found a copy to purchase this year. Never been released to dvd, found but through someone trying to share their collection (and make an extra buck or two.)
I enjoy everyone's performances and have no quibbles with any aspect of the film. It's not super funny, more amusing, and can be touching. Plus it gives us some lush views of SF, although some look like stock shots from Vertigo ('58). Very cute relationship between FA and HF.
