Description
-
On New Year's Eve, Little Fellow imagines having dinner with Georgia and performing a funny bread dance in front of her. He has a serious, focused look on his face, and the comic Little Fellow only looks serious once in the entire film - when he is performing for the one he loves.
-
Scholarly Significance
-
The film uses a seemingly comical dance to make people feel the loneliness and helplessness inside Little Fellow.
The plot may seem funny, but it leaves the audience with nothing but sadness after the disillusionment.
