Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn December 1932, Hollywood Reporter announced that Clark Gable had won the role of "Giovanni" from Douglas Fairbanks Jr. According to modern sources, Gable wore a mustache for the first time in this picture.
- GoofsThis adaptation of the book placed the scenes in Germany and Italy. Helen Hayes and Clark Gable made no effort to speak or imitate an Italian Accent.
She being the daughter of an Italian Prince and he born with the name Giovani Severini, Captain in the Italian Air Corp, it was a big deal.

Featured review
what happens when you give good actors lousy material
Uggh! Apart from the wonderful acting of Helen Hayes and Clark Gable, this is a very silly and forgettable romance. Clark plays a young soldier than falls for a princess. They know that their love is doomed due to the difference in their social status, but despite everything their love seems unavoidable. Later, when she thinks Gable dies, she drops everything to become a,....NUN!!! Then, when Gable returns it is too late,...she's married to God and cannot renounce her vows (though exactly WHY I couldn't figure out). If you haven't guessed, the plot just seems really hokey and silly. And, unfortunately, it is just that and nothing more. I only recommend it for fans of Hollywood's Golden Age and Clark Gable. All others, I'm afraid, will see it and be turned off older movies and that would be a shame.
By the way, this is a remake of a silent film which starred Lillian Gish and Ronald Coleman. In many ways, the film was better than this 1933 remake and the old fashioned plot seems more suited for a silent.
