Just a great tear jerker. They CERTAINLY don't make 'em like this anymore. James Whale plus pre-code material plus wonderful acting. An extremely young actress named Bette Davis, plays the (non-neurotic) younger sister,with nary a twitch nor a mannerism. i thoroughly enjoyed every sniffle it induced,and every catch it caused in my throat.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I'm not a fan of how this movie is old fashioned and the color black and white, along that it didn't seem interesting at all with the whole plot of the movie
