The Dynamic Frame: Camera Movement in Classical Hollywood

2.x2 Broadway

Compare this shot with 2.2, also from Broadway. In the previous example, the dazzling acrobatics of the camerawork expresses the spectacle of the nightclub. Here, the camera’s superhuman mobility comments on—and mocks—the very ideal of spectacle, suggesting that the Broadway Boom, like the nightclub itself, is a false luxury produced by labor kept hidden from view.
