State Fair (1933) 100% EDIT “Not since Wallace Beery’s The Champ has any American picture striven so hard for a feeling of place. The choice of Phil Stong’s novel was of course an excellent one for the purpose.” – The Nation Nov 10, 2023 Full Review Ivan (1932) EDIT “The picture is ineffective even as an example of explicit propaganda.” – The Nation Mar 1, 2022 Full Review The Power and the Glory (1933) 86% EDIT “Few pictures have offered so much interest in their sheer construction, which is another and different result of the method. "Narratage," therefore, opens possibilities to the screen of combining the methods of both the drama and prose fiction.” – The Nation May 13, 2021 Full Review No Man's Land (1931) EDIT “As a result of these defects and failures, Hell on Earth is not as effective, even as propaganda, as it might be; but unlike most war films it does express a clear and uncompromising attitude toward its subject.” – The Nation Nov 24, 2020 Full Review I Was a Spy (1933) EDIT “It is the kind of picture calculated to make us believe that there is something beautiful and touching about war, after all.” – The Nation Nov 24, 2020 Full Review Queen Christina (1933) 81% EDIT “The chief reason that Miss Garbo is so disappointing in Queen Christina is that the picture itself is not what it should be. namely, a picture.” – The Nation Nov 24, 2020 Full Review Alice in Wonderland (1933) 60% EDIT “What Mr. McLeod's version of Alice in Wonderland most nearly resembles is a joke that has been so badly translated into a foreign language that its whole point is lost.” – The Nation Nov 24, 2020 Full Review Lot in Sodom (1933) 86% EDIT “Here is a picture whose effect is qualitatively different from the effect produced on us by any other art-form to which we may have responded.” – The Nation Nov 24, 2020 Full Review It Happened One Night (1934) 98% EDIT “Among the more gratifying phenomena of the current season has been the growing recognition of It Happened One Night, the Frank Capra production of last year, as one of the few potential classics of the recent cinema.” – The Nation Jan 15, 2013 Full Review King Kong (1933) 97% EDIT “Unfortunately, it was thought necessary to mitigate some of the predominant horror by introducing a human, all-too-human theme.” – The Nation Oct 10, 2012 Full Review
