Never before approximated for sheer credibility is Director E. Dzigan's uncanny recreation of a minor infantry rush, which supplies the picture's climax about an hour before it is due. The men flop at the first signs of fire, try to scratch up a few handfuls of earth to hide behind, stare at each other to see who will have nerve enough to follow the commander forward, stumble to their feet, start to run and, the lust...

The pretty head nurse knows his books and admires them. Thanks to her personal influence with the Crown Prince, he is transferred to a better job, with an army corps that is leaving for the comparative comfort...
...California. He wrests an empire out of the soil only to see it go tumbling when gold is discovered. Lee Tracy, as Sutter's parasite, and Binnie Barnes, a lovely Russian gold-digger, are other players who are important in this picture which should rend somebody's heart but somehow failed to touch ours...
