I agree that the clip exhibits a brighter perspective. Through the use of lavish costumes and sets, the public is transported to a place where there aren't hardships. Movies were made to entertain; a distraction from the hard times people were going through. They were light hearted and without a heavy plot. If the movie had been made pre-code the actress' costume may have been more risque and she may have been changing clothes in the dressing room rather than just smelling flowers.
