- Innovative Film
I am not a big movie buff, but purchased this film because I am a fan of silent film star Henry B. Walthall. Walthall is only in the film for the first seven minutes and then his character dies. Rather than losing interest in the film, however, I kept watching and found it very enjoyable. It is a very innovative film, based on the Eugene O'Neill play, that includes thoughts of the characters that are audible to the audience. The main character is Nina Leeds (Norma Shearer). Nina is a very obsessive, neurotic woman who controls the hearts of three men while pining away for her dead fiance Gordon, killed in the Great War. Nina continues to control the lives of her three suitors (one of which is played by Ralph Morgan, brother of the Wizard of Oz). She enters a marriage with a man she does not ... Read More

- A NOVEL EARLY TALKIE.
All about the problems of an unfullfilled wife and her lover. What made this picture notable was the novel idea of combining on-screen dialogue with voiced-over thoughts of the characters. After a time, 1932 audiences giggled as the actors adjusted their facial expressions to correspond to their off-screen voices which made the film unusually novel. The O'Neill play originally ran for a full 5 hours. In 1932, this was considered heavy stuff: it looks very dated now, but in its day it was a small milestone in the cinema. All the adult characters age 20 years in the movie, and the process is done quite convincingly. Gable's restrained performance as the he-man-turned-whimp via love is effective and this performance earned him stature in films. The film is not without merit, and although it isn't ... Read More

- Strange Interlude is Strangely Dead
It must have seemed like a good idea at the time.

Eugene O'Neil's famous 1930s drama set the theatrical world on it's ear when it arrived on Broadway. A complicated, interesting story of a woman who depends upon a variety of men to meet her various psychological needs, the play was most noted for the fact that the action often came to a screeching halt to permit the various characters to voice their unspoken thoughts unheard by the other players.

It must have seemed a natural for film, for the "spoken thoughts" device could be-- and are-- done via voice-over and therefore create less of an interruption in the action of the film. But there was this one little problem... Hollywood of the 1930s simply was not up the challenge of converting an extremely long play with ... Read More
