Storyline:Posters for the film illustrate the liberating, redemptive power of hope and the religious themes of freedom and resurrection, with the words:"Fear can hold you prisoner, Hope can set you free.Only you can help her now." Jacob (becoming Freddy-like) commanded Freddy enticingly: "Hey, leave her! Let""s go.I want to learn stuff from you.She""s no fun anymore.Teach me?" Freddy gave Alice a lascivious kiss before pushing her to the ground, exhausted and beaten.He is late as usual from basketball practice and must run after the trolley to catch it.She is relieved when he runs after the trolley, catches it and boards - she happily finishes the song on a high note, leading all of her friends in her musical tale of flirtation with a handsome man:I went to lose a jolly, hour on the trolley, and lost my heart insteadWith his light brown derby and his bright green tieHe was quite the handsomest of menI started to yen, then I counted to ten, then I counted to ten again[In a scene filmed but later excised from the final release of the film, Esther and John stroll through and explore the unfinished fairgrounds - John carries her in his arms through one of the muddier sections of the grounds.The opening image shows a flat, paved highway road in rural Oklahoma lined by telephone poles.A small figure walks out of the distance toward the camera.At a crossroads (a symbol of America""s plight in the late 30s), one of the poles at the left of the frame leans dramatically askew.[Note: She is probably best remembered for her earlier role as the glasses-wearing bookshop assistant who dallies with Humphrey Bogart after closing shop on a rainy day inThe Big Sleep (1946).
