I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
4 stars (Very Good) 1st part films the streets - its easier to list what does not happen on the streets than what does - 2nd section is concerned with plump people golfing & attending horse racing but the climax is of the gut wrenching slums & also the out-casted lepers.rn ~Tubbs
