      H.H. Niemeyer St. Louis Post-Dispatch The picture introduces to the screen Margaret Sullavan, who plays the Southern girl so finely that she gives promise of stepping into the front ranks, immediately, of the Hollywood elect. Apr 23, 2024 Full Review Edgar Hay Miami Herald It's a darned good picture, but it's not a knockout, as Back Street was. Apr 23, 2024 Full Review Edwin Schallert Los Angeles Times The plot is skillfully presented, though details are overemphasized, and at times the picture drags considerably. But it offers a sensitively told story, and one that will reach many hearts. Apr 23, 2024 Full Review Jack Moffitt Kansas City Star This beautiful picture is probably the finest women's story that will reach the screen this year. Apr 23, 2024 Full Review Cinelandia Staff Cinelandia Universal gives us an artistic gem with this drama, with a new artist, Margaret Sullavan, in the most romantic role that could ever be conceived. [Full review in Spanish] Apr 23, 2024 Full Review Walter Ramsey Modern Screen 'Tis seldom one runs across a picture that is so human and pathetic that even the most hardened need not be ashamed of a tear.

      Audience Member Preposterous, creaky old chestnut saved almost totally by a beautiful Margaret Sullavan, in her screen bow, performance. The other saving grace is lovely work by Billie Burke otherwise there are many better films dealing with the unwed mother trope. The ending is terribly abrupt. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
