good triumph over cynicism, 6 January 2000
7/10
Author: sturdley from Savannah,Ga

Enjoyed the movie and it is obvious message.I was impressed by the clarity of the film from a technical sense.Why was the film so vivid compared with other movies from the early thirties? It must have something to do with the way they are kept in storage. Never heard"How deep is the ocean?"played with the violins quite that way.Great background for the more romantic scenes.You could see that Rooney had the stuff that made him a star.Wayne was ordinary.
