Audience Member A largely unknown romance drama about a naive but like able couple saving for their wedding in the Great Depression but struggling due to their mothers 1) Smothering & 2) Controlling & Manipulative. The film is like a time machine giving a unique on the early 1930's & some of their struggles, it's astonishing how much has changed in our society today. Filled with terrific performances it's a surprise this film isn't better known. A real/honest relationship of the era. A tender & truthful film. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member ok pre-code melodrama Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent early talking picture with loads of "pre-code" racy language and situations, scandalous behavior, and a genuinely touching romance between Charles Farrell and Marian Nixon. Don't be fooled into thinking this is just another light romance. The terrific dialog is often surprisingly frank, especially when Minna Gombell -- in the performance of her life -- tells her daughter things no child should hear from a parent. Even 75 years later, that scene is genuinely shocking. All the parts are well acted, but a particular standout is Josephine Hull; her scenes with William Collier Sr. are absolutely hilarious. Direction by Frank Borzage is, as usual, nearly flawless. This film really should be much better known.. 5 Stars 3-13-14 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member OK story about a couple who can't seem to make it to the alter due to family and financial troubles. Josephine Hull stands out as the mother-in-law from hell. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
