An Award Winning Play with Extremely Awkward, Dated Dialog and a Controlled Confinement renders little Payoff for Modern Moviegoers.
The Attraction of Two Superstars (Howard, Davis) cannot save this from being Melodramatic with Heavy Doses of Melancholy, not only by Today's standards but the Verbiage probably started to Fossilize before the Patrons Exited in the Thirties.
It is so Over Written and Corny that even Depression era Dreamers could see through the Silver Lining in this Clunky Cloud.
Widely Considered the Movie that Made Bogart (his entrance is iconic).
This is as Dusty as it gets and can really Only be Enjoyed by Film and Social Historians as a Slice of Literary and Cultural Pop. An empty, Pretentious, Commercially Driven Deterrent to the Woes of the Day. Populist Escapism.
It was Wrapped in Plastic and Sold to the Suffering Masses, but did Not Cure the Neurosis ("nature has unleashed") and was a Placebo.
