Yes we've seen it thousands of times, but each time is a wonderful experience. You know the story by heart, but you discover new things again and again. This film is King Vidor in all his glory. Fantastic photography, great shots. For a film of 1931, it's crazy how the image remains beautiful.
The story is gripping and the acting is superb even though at times over the top.
Deserves to be shown and watched again and again.
