Critic Reviews
-
Stephen Hughes, Radio Times
This is sadly disappointing stuff from such masters of their craft.
-
Philip Kemp, Total Film
Well before the end the whole thing collapses into rip-roaring melodrama.
-
David Jenkins, Time Out
The vitriol and hurt coursing through this prickly, scandalous pre-code melodrama from 1932 may wrong-foot those who had director Frank Capra pegged as head cheerleader for good ol' American democracy and cheery, affirmative humanist values.
