      Pare Lorentz Vanity Fair Kay Francis is always heavy-handed and lethargic in her work, but in such a production as Storm at Daybreak, she has some authority and an ability to - as the phrase has it - wear her clothes well. Jun 14, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Though production values for the costume drama are fine, the problem is the melodrama is dull.
