...magician, a pretty, home-loving girl, a threadbare plot--that is the whole of "Eternally Yours". It all hinges about Loretta Young, whose change from historic thrillers to modern nondescript is much for the worse. In this lovodrama, she has to choose between a boring suitor and a crafty magician. The snave charlatan, David Niven, offers here excitement and some other things, too. With him, she is whiled through a hectic Hollywoodian adventure; they cruise around the world, sometimes doing parlor tricks, sometimes performing feats of magic. Back at home, though, the other suitor waits, offering her his stolid security...
...faced stiffer competition since his valuable partner Frank Joyce died two years ago and since Leland Hayward, Margaret Sullavan's husband, pulled out of the Selznick partnership.

In the first assignment, all is reasonably smooth sailing. Aided by Loretta Young, Don Ameche gives a fairly convincing life portrait of Bell in his rise from a cold attic to the court of Queen Victoria. This might seem the logical point at which to call quits, but RKO is adamant and refuses to halt here. Instead, the picture embarks...
...Twentieth Century-Fox) will be a revelation to cinemaddicts who have been led to believe that all great figures of the 19th Century were just Tyrone Power in period costume. Alexander Graham Bell turns out to be Don Ameche without a haircut. However, Loretta Young, who is getting to be almost as much of an historical figure as Tyrone Power, appears satisfactorily as Mabel Gardiner Hubbard, a deaf girl who inspired Bell to continue with his invention and not resume his teaching of elocution...
