It's funny you should mention Carol Kane and the silent film area. She did star in "World's Greatest Lover", where her character had a huge obsession of Rudolph Valentino, the silent film star.
Lovely little bumps ! An udder is an organ formed of the mammary glands of female quadruped mammals, especially ruminants such as cattle, goats, sheep - not pretty little girls . Also when she's older they wont be down to her knees !
Her boobs aside, I think she sort of emphasized the depressing nature of the film and the detail. Meadows wasn't particularly hot for visiting the bordello, and probably got more enjoyment from their talking after doing it than from the sex. Both Meadows and her were pretty depressed, almost victims, and seemed to connect more from talking. Or so it seemed. Meanwhile, Badduskey and Mulhall/Mule sat outside talking about their life in the navy, their lonliness, uncertainty, etc.
If they went to that bordello to cheer up, did it work?
