Oh man, that movie managed to get to a very unusual combination of eerily predictive, and really badly written/acted.

It's more "theatrically acted" than "badly acted," IMHO.

Like most of the movies from that era. Thousands of years of theater influence aren't so easily shaken by the addition of close-ups.

I once read a book from the 50s wherein the author claimed that people DID indeed talk and move that way when they were being serious.
