3 things about King Vidor’s STELLA DALLAS [1937]
1. She moves in close, embraces her arm; they’re almost kissing.
2. A burning cigar on the tray of the highchair.
3. “Sorry, but you can’t stand here. We have to keep this clear. Move along, please.”

When I was 14, (30 odd years ago!! 😐) I found in a second hand book store King Vidor On Filmmaking.

Vidor went into detail over the ending of Our Daily Bread. I couldn't watch the ditch digging scene then, but can now on YouTube. First time watch
