| CinePassionFernando F. CroceA theatrical snapshot that's also a heaving Vidor vision |
| User ReviewSilke BAmong the best movies I have ever watched! |
| User ReviewThe Movie WA really great film. Themes are timeless, characters genuine, well written and well directed. I highly recommend it. |
| User ReviewElliott BA slice of life urban love letter, as only King Vidor could film. |
| User ReviewSausages MClever, ancient film that shows its age but it nonetheless utterly charming. Even though they're totally different, the high temperature, urban setting reminded me of "Do The Right Thing". The acting is naturalistic and so a little clunky at times, but I think it kind of adds to the realism, in a way. Very entertaining considering it's 80 years old and probably even the kids that starred in this film are long dead. |
