| User ReviewKatie RAn absolutely beautiful film. One of the most emotional experiences I've ever had watching a movie. |
| User ReviewSteven Pthis pre-code version of this story is still my favorite about a mother and her son |
| User ReviewJustin MReally oddly paced movie, has trouble deciding what it wants to be. Stanwyck is good as always, and it's nice to see Bette Davis, but she doesn't get nearly enough to do. |
| User ReviewLee Anne WThis 1932 version of the wonderful Edna Ferber book feels so abbreviated. The ending is downright abrupt. At least it has Barbara Stanwyck and a beautiful young Bette Davis in it, but that's about all I can say that's good. |
