Begins well but after an hour or so, losses steam. Still worth watching for Errol & Bette along with solid Supporting Cast but the Hollywood ending is crass. Almost laughable. Errol was right: should have stayed with ending in the book. They could pull that off now but not back then.
Well done effects on San Francisco earthquake scenes. Flynn delivers some wickedly cool romantic lines but one could say Errol's acting really didn't venture far from real life. Henry Travers steals every scene. Alan Hale a delight, as always, along with Beulah Bondi.
One great Flynn line:
Do you want to hear the story of my life?
No, but it's exciting!
Hadn't got any point to it but it might serve as a warning to you.
