A classic is born
By RJNeb2 (922 reviews) from London , 01 Oct 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
The first version of the classic tale of the washed-up movie star seeing his waitress-turned-actress wife eclipse him in fame still stands up well. This is mainly due to superb, natural performances by Gaynor and March, and a suitably sour and caustic script that keeps sentimentality at bay.- Was this review helpful to you?

(5)A little boring
By a customer , 17 Apr 2013I didn't enjoy much this movie. The plot quite simple and the leading actress not very convincing. She just looks so ordinary to play a rising star. Sound and picture quality not very good. Watch it only if you feel curious.- Was this review helpful to you?

The Price of Fame and Glory
By a customer , 21 Feb 2013A great story about how fame and glory are sometimes paid with a price. I must say that there were tears rolling down my eyes at the end.- Was this review helpful to you?

One of the best from Hollywood's golden age
By Zamy (552 reviews) from London , 16 Feb 2012This is the first version of the story of one Hollywood career on the skids and one on the rise. It is a magnificent film of its time with stellar performances from Janet Gaynor and Frederic March; a great script from an array of writers; and tight, compelling direction from William Wellman. This was the first Technicolor film to win an Oscar and if this film were in better condition the colour would look wonderful. Hopefully at some time restoration work will bring back the quality of the original.- Was this review helpful to you?

Poor Quality
By a customer from London , 12 Feb 2004A wonderful film poorly transferred to DVD; the sound quality is appalling and the final scene cut to ribbons.
A very bad experience of one of the best insights into Hollywood.- Was this review helpful to you?
