Spoilers ahead
The film opens with a serene rendition of Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata”, setting a quiet, almost timeless tone as the scene transitions into a bustling bookstore. The camera gently explores the shelves filled with popular books from early 1941, including titles like Valtin’s Out of the Night, Fedorova’s The Family, and Nordhoff and Hall’s No More Gas. Amidst this literary landscape, an amusing gag reveals an old favorite, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, with a Federal Housing Administration sign humorously placed in front of the cabin, blending classic literature with playful commentary.
