I'll give the filmmakers some points for experimenting with the voice-over asides. However, I don't feel they add much to this trite, irritating melodrama. The characters are all quite annoying, that deadly combination of unlikable and uninteresting. Since this is based on an eight-hour play, I imagine much nuance and development was left on the cutting room floor, because as it is, I could not conjure much interest in the love quadrangle and big cover-up which made up the story. However, the acting is mostly good (Norma Shearer and Clark Gable especially), even with Ralph Morgan's silly "thinking" faces.
