Goulding indulges in voluptuously lit scenes dominated by well-dressed extras, lots of carousing and booze, catty dialogue, and water fountains that upstage everybody.
May 15, 2005 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review… -
It certainly follows the W. Somerset Maugham novel -- being just as verbose, obscure in its philosophy and jumbled In Its construction.

The start is promising and I'm immediately infected by the bombast I observe in the mise-en-scène, although in the second half I get bored when perceiving a narrative repetition planned by a superfluous indulgence. [Full review in Spanish]

Edmund Goulding's version deserves crdit for trying to adapt Maugham's difficult existential movel, but Tyrone Power is miscast and the film is too melodramatic and verbose, failing to illustrate the novel's essence.

Often pushing against Production Code limits, it is a fine execution of the novel

Feb 19, 2014An okay adaptation of Maugham. It isn't a great "returning home" film but Maugham's book does present some real challenges in terms of adaptation. A modern director likely would have been able to do the trick.John B Super Reviewer

Sep 26, 2012This movie sounds very promising, but it wasn't as good as I expected. The story is very normal, very long, and gets boring eventually. It isn't a bad movie, it just isn't the emotional, dramatic, yet entertaining film it could have been.Aj V Super Reviewer

Nov 15, 2006A little long but not bad. A great story too.Michael G Super Reviewer
