George Arliss cast as a classical pianist, had potential of making for a good film. I felt the whole thing had lost momentum and direction after the opening 20 minutes. The story became too stagey and talky for my liking. Bette Davis is billed second, even though she's off-screen for quite a while. Arliss gave a good performance which offered some compensation but that is about all.
