This was a very entertaining film. The story was fast paced and an easy 90 minute watch. Definitely had a "Tale of Two Cities" sentiment with Alan Breck agreeing to make a similar sacrifice as Sydney Carton.
The "love story" was not that believable with Warner Baxter in the Alan Breck role. Did not see the chemistry. Maybe Errol Flynn or Tyrone Power or even Douglas Fairbanks. But not that hard to overlook. Who am I to judge what a woman may desire?
Contains most elements of a watchable film: good actors, good story, surprise elements, action scenes, evil villains, and a pretty girl. Recommend this to all, especially Freddie Bartholomew fans.
