Yup. Class. And I don't much care for movies from that era in general. The dated acting and dialogue is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Although, TBH, listening to real Americans talk any time from around the beginning of last century to the sixties bugs me. There was just an accent and way of speaking that makes them sound like *******s.

For the longest time I thought Humphrey Bogart was just putting on the weirdest act ever in his movies, then I realized that just about everybody from that time period talked like Humphrey Bogart. It made me like America just a little less.
