From Sadie McKee (dir. Clarence Brown, 1934). That young couple (Joan Crawford and Gene Raymond): what are they looking at?
They’re looking at food, glorious food.
No restaurant name is visible, but for a Depression audience, the cook in the window flipping pancakes would have undoubtedly meant Childs, a chain that offered inexpensive fare. In Sadie McKee, it’s 30¢ for corned beef hash and poached eggs, 5¢ for coffee.
