Films like The Sky's the Limit.

The Sky's the Limit (1943) reads as Warm, kinetic, gentle rko / astaire, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
