Read a few - your dialogue is actually pretty solid. Your action/descriptions need work. Let's look at page 1.

EXT. DOWNTOWNZZ LOS ANGELES STREET - DAY - 1933


typo - ZZ after downtown.

Don't put years in your header - they are not a location. Go with a SUPER:


Quoted Text
Cars drive by as pedestrians are leaving and entering stores
and restaurants. We notice two men walking down the sidewalk.
MAN 1, glasses, soft-faced, brown suit, dignified hat, is
slowing down while looking around confused. MAN 2, wiseguy,
too big for his britches, stern, blue suit, stops to look
back at Man 1.


Once you get to 4 lines - break it up.
CAP all characters (PEDESTRIANS)
Write active - PEDESTRIANS leave - rather than are leaving. SLows down rather than is slowing...etc
Lose the WE NOTICE

Something like:

Cars drive by as PEDESTRIANS exit and enter stores and restaurants.

Two men stroll down the sidewalk. MAN 1, glasses, soft-faced, brown suit, dignified hat, slows down while looking around confused.

MAN 2, wiseguy, too big for his britches, stern, blue suit, stops to look
back at Man 1.
