      Audience Member The movie that proves John Gilbert could speak, as well as act. Gilbert does a good job with the over-talky script, and he is assisted by Leila Hyams and Anita Page. Gilbert was never given good material to work with, per Louis B. Mayer's instructions. Gilbert would be one of the first big stars Mayer would go out of his way to ruin. Gilbert died after making a half dozen movies in 1936, when he was only 36. He saw no future in the movies for him -- after being the biggest star in the world just ten years earlier. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member john gilbert plays a bootlegger in this pre-code early talkie Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
