diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 10, 2026 Sinceramente, acho que não poderia estar menos interessado nisso. See more Thomas V @TomVee Feb 16, 2025 This is a dated film, pure comedy / melodrama, but it is well acted, especially by Janet Gaynor in this 1/3 of her 3-movie Oscar turn. While Charles Farrel is a swaggering, goofy but good-hearted caricature in a very likeable but broad performance, Gaynor is on a whole other level, much more naturalistic. Her expressive face and body language speak volumes without all the histrionics common in the silent era, and she's the main reason this story, full of tropes that are all too familiar by now, still really tugs at the heartstrings. The other interesting feature is the film's pivot midway from its humble early reels fixed on simple sets and painted backdrops, to a pretty convincing war drama that adds some real tension to our hero's arc. The ending is a bit of a groaner, but it doesn't spoil what is otherwise a sweet, engaging love story. I'd give it 3 3/4 stars if I could.

The acting throughout the film, even for 1927 is still fantastic today, and so is the heart of the film, It's absolutely prevalent to this day. See more william d @acsdoug Nov 2, 2022 A bit sappy at times, particularly at the end. Still, it's a pretty good silent melodrama, and if you have any interest in that genre you should check it out. See more michael d @RT16138633 Dec 11, 2021 When it was released it was a critical and commercial success. It grips your interest from the beginning and though the end is a bit sappy you are sympathetic to Chico he is brought back to Diane. Due to t his film, Fox films featured sound elements the studio re-released it with a synchronized Movietone soundtrack.
