Early Zoom Shot?
I could swear that one of the shots in "Love Me Tonight" (near the film's opening) is a zoom-in. This is plausible because zoom lenses for movie cameras were invented circa 1932. But zooms didn't become part of a cinematographer's usual arsenal until the 1960s.
Can anyone tell me more about this? And if the shot is indeed a zoom, why did Hollywood take so long to use zoom shots regularly?
