...acting he turns in a splendid characterization that is moving and realistic. The director makes use of symbolism a great deal which at times is overdone but in some scenes is artistic and adds greatly to the interpretation of the story. The photography is excellent. The movie plot follows Tolstoy's story for the most part and gives a realistic picture of peasant life and modes of thinking in an age now rapidly becoming past history. The love theme is treated subtly and with a finesse too rare in most pictures today...
...that the "St. Louis Kid" is good Cagney; and good Cagney, as an unfortunately large number of people know, may be depended upon to include turmoil among the gendarmerie, wisecracks in a welter, fisticuffs in the boudoir, and a pace so rapid as hopelessly to outstrip the plot. Shamefacedly, we admit to a general liking for all these inevitable ingredients, as well as for the toothsome Patricia Ellis and the dogged Alan Jenkins, Mr. Cagney's perennial henchman.

Machiavellian, wily and devious are the methods by which the Elders plan to gain their world hegemony. According to the Protocols "he who would rule must have recourse to cunningness and hypocrisy." Biding their time while they contrive the collapse of Christian society, the Elders plan...
...Messrs. Lewis are not related, nor are they professional playwrights. But they have managed to produce a drama which entertains, although it does not always convince, by placing their plot on the broad back of a beguiling rascal named Asa ("Ace") Burdette (Fred Stone). "Ace" has been a fiery leader of "Jayhawkers," those bellicose sons of the Middle Border whose ropes, pitchforks and rifles kept Kansas abolitionist because they did not want the agricultural competition of cheap slave labor. A noted boozer, tobacco-chewer and wencher, sly "Ace" is first seen confessing his sins to a camp-meeting audience...
