Women in adventurer-impresario Merian C. Cooper's schoolboyish action yarns are rarely allowed to do anything other than get kidnapped and rescued. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 07/30/2020

Despite the appeal in themes of immortality, reincarnation, and the folly of man's selfish indulgences, there aren't enough intricacies to make the premise consequential. Go to Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine 10/04/2019

Thrillingly scored by Max Steiner and featuring backdrops you won't believe, the movie climaxes with a dazzling ceremony in the Hall of Kings, featuring hundreds of extras performing some of the most bizarre choreography ever filmed.

Steve D 05/12/2023 Hard to review for me because I have such love for Helen Gahagan. It is pure cheese but the chance to see her act was not to be missed. See more 03/15/2019 this movie was exceptional See more @Ebrown 02/04/2019 Easily forget-able, great in it's time b grade schlock from the mind that gave you king kong. See more 04/11/2016 I'd only seen the Hammer production until the other day. Although Hammer did a wonderful job, this '35 version is so much more atmospheric. It's obvious that Disney borrowed the image of the wicked queen in Snow White from this film. Performances are outstanding, special effects are incredible. I highly recommend this stylish, escapist adventure yarn. See more 04/06/2016 I saw the restored colorised version. The production design was impressive, but the screenplay and pacing were a bit weak. Overall a disappointment. Max Steiner's score was pretty good.
