Just because the lenses might be critically corrected doesn't necessarily 
result in better movies.

I think some of the finest achievements in film images were done in the 
thirties with the Speed Panchro lenses by the likes of Hal Mohr and Joseph 
L. Walker.
There is great bokeh in films like A Midsummer Night's Dream (1935) and The 
Bitter Tea of General Yen (1933).
