The blend of comedy and drama, with a dash of both slapstick and social commentary, makes this film something of a groundbreaker. Certainly one of the more "mature" films Hollywood had made up to that point, and its influence stretches to the present day. I can't imagine something like, say, American Beauty without this precedent.
