The New Republic's critic, Fergeson, who died as a Merchant Marine in World War II, gave this movie a rave review.
This movie is another example of a superb movie that either vanished or is very hard to find.
Ian Hamilton made this comment regarding films made from screenplays by Nathaniel West. Nathaniel West is considered by many to be the greatest writer of his generation (he was married to the real My Sister Eileen).
Not having seen a movie made from a screenplay he wrote, I have no way of knowing whether his fan club is right.
The same is true of Carl Dreyer's films, Sternbergs and other early movie directors. The French have ranted and raves on this topic for more than half a century.
