Wow. How did you notice? Very subtle but once you see it, it's obvious.

A fabulous Marlene vibe going on. The caress is so tender. I LOVE the 20’s aesthetic.

Made with tables that split down the middle. As the camera got close enough the pulled the tables apart to let it come by.

Surely it was a camera on a jib? Whaaat

Ive seen different theories on it one was that, the other was that a special track was made overhead for the camera because of the size and weight of them back then.
