The scene with the prostitute added nothing to the story and felt totally unnecessary. Do you think he put it in just to pad the film's running time?

I disagree. The scene adds to Bobby's character. You understand his viewpoint more clearly. The idea of how sex was treated in this time.

I was thinking the same thing, to checking lighting? Otherwise, it had no merit.

It set up an important aspect of his character.
