Only Yesterday (1933) |
It makes splendid cinematic material and is efficiently told by means of the flashback. - San Francisco Examiner

State Fair (1933) |
If [State Fair] falls a little short of being a masterpiece, it never fails to be a thoroughly engrossing story told in celluloid. Moreover it seems to me to have more of the genuine feeling -- one might say the smell -- of a State fair. - San Francisco Examiner

The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1933) |
Fine direction and worthy acting make an engrossing picture of this rather inconsequential story. - San Francisco Examiner

Frankenstein (1931) |
To the person who finds stimulus in the contemplation of abstract ideas presented through the medium of the supernatural, Frankenstein becomes a thrilling experience. - San Francisco Examiner

Shanghai Express (1932) |
Louise Closser Hale and Eugene Pallette have engrossing bits and Anna May Wong contributes a mysteriously and darkly drawn character sketch. And Miss Dietrich, as I have intimated, dominates the whole shebang -- and does it gloriously. - San Francisco Examiner

Baby Face (1933) |
The picture is fun, until the final sobs are reached. It is daring material which should draw throngs of good citizens to the box office. - San Francisco Examiner

The Power and the Glory (1933) |
The Power and the Glory is an interesting contribution to screen technique. It triumphs because it tells an unimportant story in a fascinating manner. - San Francisco Examiner

All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) |
It is not merely the story of Paul Braumer and his young companions; it is the story of all youth caught in the machine of war. - San Francisco Examiner

It Happened One Night (1934) |
The audience gets tired of waiting for what it knows to be inevitable. The redeeming features, however, are the bright and breezy performances by Gable and Miss Colbert. - San Francisco Examiner

(undefined) |
Let us hope Barrymore's directors will from now on give him plenty of sparkling nonsense to work with before the camera. In my opinion he is at his best in comedy. - San Francisco Examiner

Imitation of Life (1934) |
Miss Beavers does the best work of her screen career... and Miss Washington Is splendid as the daughter. There should be a place in fllmdom for the latter young player. She is an actress of genuine ability. - San Francisco Examiner

Convention City (1933) |
Too much happens in Convention City to be recorded here. Let it merely be said that a perfectly chosen cast keeps things bubbling with mirth at all points. - San Francisco Examiner
