...this vivid portrayal Otis Skinner is no less responsible than are the authors. He meets the varied requirements of the part with admirable skill and the scenes with his granddaughter, Currita, are particularly well done.

Hardie Albright, on the other hand has a professional buoyancy too reminiscent of a successful bond salesman to be quite convincing in the part of Trino...
