Notes on The Film

I wanted to write something that made me laugh.

I always loved those banter-filled movies of the 30's and 40's, so attempted to emulate that style of film. I also wanted to highlight something which has worried me a lot over the last few years, namely why are most movies made today so incredibly bad?
