A true classic - I can't believe I've never seen it before. Watched it with the kids, and they were slow to get into it, but were fully engrossed as soon as Clarence jumped in the water!. Of course, we had to watch the colorized version - they wouldn't even attempt the black and white version.
Although the rate of inflation really is evident in this one, the story and the meaning still hold up extremely well. It did spur on a discussion about inflation, though, which the kids were fascinated by. Adjusted for inflation, $8,000.00 in 1946 is equal to $108,362.20 in 2018. Whoa!
