Made by the rich about the fat, boring rich.

What was happening to poor people around the world at the time?

Not as photogenic, maybe?

Who gives a rat's ass about boring, unphotogenic poor people and their boring, poor, unphotogenic lives? F 'em.

Well, that is the genre. Half of the characters are staff, but they are working class not poor, but not idle rich either.

What was happening to poor people ?

There are films about that era that focus on poor people:

Places in the Heart
The Grapes of Wrath
Hope and Glory
Angela’s Ashes
Cinderella Man

and you know, books.
