Top Flat

About This Movie

Top Flat, directed by Jack Jevne, is a curious little comedy from 1935. It's got this light but slightly biting tone, reflecting on the discontent of a young poetess, Patsy, who shatters Thelma's sense of purpose with her critiques. The pacing is quite brisk, with scenes flowing into each other, almost giving it a stage-like feel. The performances are a mixed bag, but Thelma stands out with her charming earnestness, making you root for her attempts to find a better life. The practical effects are minimal, but you get a sense of the era's style, which adds a layer of authenticity. It's not groundbreaking, but it certainly captures the zeitgeist of its time.
