Reviews
“From the opening scene, you know you are in the hands of a master.”

“A work of remarkable sophistication, both for Mr. Borzage’s highly developed storytelling skills and for the remarkably genuine and touching performances he elicited from Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell, who had great screen chemistry long before there was a name for such a thing… A rare treat.”
– Janet Maslin, The New York Times. Read the full review here.
