Manny Farber’s glorious hate on the candy in 1940s cinema:

What is wrong with the candy? It comes in little boxes for five cents, and there are five kinds of it. They are all the same - gum drops; this includes the caramels. I have never seen these pebblelike candies sold anywhere except in movie theatres, where there is nothing to talk back to but the machine. The distinguishing feature of these candies is that they neither chew up nor melt away but remain in your mouth long after their function is over.

Watching the actions of the aggressive sister, to quote one of the actors, "is like watching the maneuvers of the Atlantic Fleet."

Manny Farber, 1943.
