David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a fairly standard premise that’s employed to uneven yet mostly watchable effect by Vidor... Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 11, 2024 Full Review Pare Lorentz Vanity Fair As it was in the theatre, it remains: a mild, well-mannered show. Jun 12, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

ashley h Cynara is a disappointing film. It is about a London barrister's marriage that is under strain after his affair with a shop-girl who is out to have him. Kay Francis and Ronald Colman give horrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. King Vidor did a terrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
