SMH Staff Sydney Morning Herald It fails to sustain Interest because of the extreme conventionality of its plot. Everything has been sacrificed to the music, and to the picturesqueness of the settings, and these two features in themselves, are not enough to carry the day. Sep 29, 2020 Full Review Mordaunt Hall New York Times The singing, including the deep tones from Noah Beery, is most pleasing and so far as the story is concerned, it is, after all, with all its implausible romanticism, no worse than the tales of most musical offerings. Sep 29, 2020 Full Review Sime Silverman Variety With Technicolor, which runs more smoothly later than earlier, the likeable background are Russian peasant mobs as the rule. At one time the film goes to the wide screen for a pleasant festival and this looks quite nice. Sep 29, 2020 Full Review Reg Whitley Daily Mirror (UK) The settings are magnificent, the music good and the story interesting. Feb 19, 2022 Full Review P.S. Harrison Harrison's Reports Of the operettas that have so far been produced, Song of the Flame seems to be the best. The reason for it is the fact that the beautiful color, the good acting, and the excellent singing are laid over an interesting plot. Sep 29, 2020 Full Review Walter R. Greene Motion Picture News In picture form, the operetta secures the further advantage of sweeping action and scenes in Technicolor. These factors alone assure acceptance of Song of the Flame as good entertainment, regardless of its unmovable story structure. Sep 29, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
