One of my all-time favorites!
I just can’t tell you how much I adore this film! It was superb in every way! Norma Shearer and Fredric March were wonderful together, the chemistry between these two can be felt, it burns right through the tv screen! I’m not kidding! 😉 It’s just lovely, you care about these two, you want them to be together and be happy! That’s a sign of good acting on their parts! Leslie Howard is excellent too, don’t get me wrong. He just can’t beat Fred! Oh Fred Fred Fred! Yes, I like him! Is it obvious? 😉 He’s just the most amazing actor! I’m definitely going to buy The Barretts of Wimpole Street now because I think anything with Shearer and March together is worth my money! Or someone elses! ;-)Oh, and Fred and Norma kiss an awful lot too! Lucky gal! haha!

Oh my goodness…I must be an old cynic…
I found this film unbearably corny and dated, even for the period. Norma Shearer never impressed me when she played any sort of a period or costume role, as she became too self-aware and phony. Some actresses, Garbo for one, could slip in and out of costume dramas and more modern roles with believability, but not Norma. The only times I found her to be natural were in her early roles as a young actress when she wasn’t playing Mrs. Thalberg.

This one was just a little too old-fashioned and sentimental for my tastes. I had hoped for more, for a pre-code film.

Leslie Howard is generally good in anything he does, and he performs well enough here. But I don’t feel a whole lot of chemistry between the pair. And maybe it is the black and white format, but in the portions where Norma is in the blond role, her hair looks more gray than blond, which ages her.

I guess I am not a softy…sorry, I don’t mean to be harsh, but just did not like this one very much.
