Critic Reviews for Sanders of the River

All Critics (2) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (0) | DVD (1)

Produced with great dignity, the film has the advantage of a grand theme, of some glorious scenery, wild game, and native types all admirably photographed, of several really exciting sequences, and of some good singing.
