The film was meant as an introductory showcase for Goldwyn's latest discovery, Russian actress Anna Sten. The story, much laundered from the Tolstoy original, depicts the downfall of a peasant girl who is seduced by a Russian prince (Fredric March). The once-callous nobleman tries to make amends for the hurt he has inflicted on the girl, who has wound up in prison for solicitation. The first American version of Resurrection, directed by D. W. Griffith, was made in 1909 and lasted ten minutes. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
This 19th-century costume drama was saved from its lapses by the grandiose direction of Rouben Mamoulian.
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
Only recommended for Fredric March completists (if such a person even exists).
