A lovely movie

8/10

"A lovely movie. Ann Harding in one of her many best performances, in a matinée movie with unusually literate dialogue, and a stunning score by Max Steiner, showing he could really compose when free of Selznick memos and the requirement to make Bette Davis seem romantic. Note his very subtle use of a C major theme, which initially appears over Paul Lukas's portrait, initially seeming to be excessively pro-German, accentuated by its second appearance as a military march, but which eventually reveals itself as a Peace and Harmony motif. Excellent performances from Paul Lukas and Brian Aherne..."
