Love on Toast

Fast paced. Never a dull moment. Lots of unexpected characters and plot twists. The leads are surprising at every turn. Gives a fascinating view into the 30's. The male lead has depth and is very appealing. Stella Adler is radiant and quite atypical. Little details like the lead's soda jerking ability and his passion for aviation design are unexpected delights. Loved that what might have been a throwaway character - Miss Brooklyn - turns out to be a great singer with another unexpected attraction to men in uniforms with lots of buttons. The closing soda fountain fight is one of the best food fights on film, especially the final shot of "ice skating" on the slippery floor. So much rich detail and above all the perfect constantly fun pacing.
