It's not a masterpiece, but it's not bad either. It has its charm and more if you take it to the plane of those years. It made me capable for a long time but for a personal and contemporaneity issue, it is not the best that has been preserved over the years but Mervyn LeRoy manages to direct this adventurous drama with romantic flashes neatly intertwining these genres.
The symbology with the word adversity is clear, and in each problem it is further enhanced in the character arc of Anthony.
The performances are good, on the one hand Fredric March is one of the best actors of the 30s for me and every time I have seen his work, he does not disappoint me and this is no exception. Project in that man the child that we had been seeing in the course of which he showed the desire to grow but at the same time afraid of doing it, with great courage and class at the same time. On the other hand, a young Olivia de Havilland who offers a fresh performance that denotes the great promise she fulfilled as an actress, a beautiful romance with March.
This film was nominated for 7 Oscars in 1937, where it won 4 statuettes: -Best Cinematography, which is beautiful and its ending proves it.
-Best Supporting Actress to Gale Sondergaard who plays a greedy, manipulative and humorous woman, she is not my favorite of the year but I understand and share her victory.
