It's a light-hearted and humorous film that tells the stories of little people. Originally, a poor boy who made a living by taking pictures of people on the street met a beautiful girl working in a certain editorial department (not sure), fell in love with her at first sight, and started a passionate pursuit. With the girl's encouragement, he rented (or bought?) a worn-out camera and worked hard to shoot a good newsreel, trying to get a job in the editorial department. In the film, the poor photographer's first love is great because of its sincerity and passion. Disorientation on first meeting; restlessness while waiting for the phone; overwhelmed on first date with a girl (supposed to be the girl holding his arm and turned upside down because of his nervousness); even sitting on the wheels when crowding a bus Also sit with the girl. These scenes are hilarious, and ordinary love shines brightly in comical scenes. Even from today's perspective, these scenes are classics. I was also moved by the heroine's poetic smile, and the little monkey was also very cute, and finally helped the hero a lot. However, the place where the riots in Chinatown are mentioned in the film seems to be a bit smearing of Chinese people.
