Movie Reviews

EmanuelLevy.Com - 7/10 by Emanuel LevyThe third version of Fannie Hurst's novel, filmed in 1932 and 1941, is the weakest: Susan Hayward may be too old and too tough for the part.
The Spectator - 7/10 by Isabel QuiglyIt's so delicious bad it's monumental, a masterpiece of nonsense.
User Review - 10/10 by Mitchell Msusan hayward's "crazy-dancing" (in the first scene) alone is worth the price of admission. fresh off his starched turn in "imitation of life". the hopelessly handsome gavin gives another startling performance straight out of the school of wood
User Review - 10/10 by Charles QThis is our Thanksgiving movie. We've seen it every year for more than a decade. Save the wishbone for me!
User Review - 10/10 by Joanna LThis movie is the pure definition of a tear jerker movie. The acting is well done.You keep hoping for the couple that something good will come their way. Definitely have tissues handy.
User Review - 10/10 by jay nSuperb movie to the effect that, "they don't make movies like this anymore."
User Review - 10/10 by James HMy mom and I used to try and catch this movie when ever we could. It tops all romantic movies I've ever seen. It may be an old movie, yet I always have to have a box of tissue near by when I see it. It will always be my favorite.
User Review - 6/10 by Greg W68/100. This is, so far, the third version of this popular melodrama. It is the second best of the three versions, but certainly the glossiest and the best produced version. Good costumes and art direction. The Irene Dunne 1932 version was the best, and the Margaret Sullavan 1941 version my least favorite.
User Review - 6/10 by Anne CI wish I could give it 4 stars, because I love to watch it over and over. It is so cheesy, it is funny now. (Save the wishbone for me!) This was kind of a wimpy role for Susan. I like her better when she is fiesty. Love Vera Miles too. Her part should have been Susan's.
User Review - 6/10 by Steve S***Due to the recent RT changes that have basically ruined my past reviews, I am mostly only giving a rating rather than a full review.***
