True Confession (1937) 100% EDIT “Fred MacMurray as the husband who couldn't tell a lie, and Carole Lombard as the wife who did it with her little hatchet, are both exceptionally good, but the picture owes its peculiar hobgoblin quality to John Barrymore as the eccentric crime expert.” – Maclean's Magazine May 6, 2020 Full Review The Texas Rangers (1936) 79% EDIT “I don't know when I've seen so much action, or watched the boys having a better time.” – Maclean's Magazine Apr 24, 2020 Full Review Anything Goes (1936) 83% EDIT “It's amusing entertainment if you don't mind the crazy confusion.” – Maclean's Magazine Apr 22, 2020 Full Review The Farmer Takes a Wife (1935) EDIT “The story in general noses along at canal-barge pace, leaving you al! the time in the world to take a rest and enjoy the scenery.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 14, 2019 Full Review Her Jungle Love (1938) EDIT “Her Jungle Love is smash hokum, with one huge "effect" piled on another. But it's entertaining as spectacle, and as wild comedy played straight.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 14, 2019 Full Review A Lost Lady (1934) EDIT “It seems a pity to waste a fine actor like Frank Morgan on such a picture. But feeling the way I do about Miss Stanwyck, it didn't seem below her talents.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 14, 2019 Full Review Wife, Doctor and Nurse (1937) EDIT “Wife, Doctor and Nurse, though it arrives rather late in the field, is a good deal more entertaining than most pictures of its kind.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 14, 2019 Full Review Kentucky Moonshine (1938) EDIT “The Ritz Brothers seem to be proof that if you try hard enough you can be funny. By sheer terrific effort you can wear an audience dowm till it gives in and laughs its head off.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 14, 2019 Full Review In Person (1935) EDIT “it's fairly lively but I still prefer Ginger Rogers with Fred Astaire or without George Brent; preferably with Fred Astaire.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Alice Adams (1935) 89% EDIT “Miss [Katharine] Hepburn's performance is brilliant though uneven; a little overwrought at times, but so penetrating at others that every third woman, perhaps even every second one, in the audience will recognize herself in some aspect of Alice.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 11, 2019 Full Review The Merry Widow (1934) 89% EDIT “Everybody's old favorite brought strictly up to date by Ernst Lubitsch, and very brightly acted, danced and sung by Maurice Chevalier and Jeannette MacDonald.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Curly Top (1935) EDIT “Admirers of the screen's first child wonder will dote on Curly Top. People who find that all child performances on the screen, even Temple performances, stir up the wicked old Herod in them, had better stay away.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 11, 2019 Full Review The Gay Divorcee (1934) 92% EDIT “Though it's longer than it should be, it seems shorter than it actually is, thanks to Fred Astaire.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 11, 2019 Full Review It's a Gift (1934) 94% EDIT “It is true Mr. Fields repeats himself a great deal in his new picture It's a Gift, but, even so, W. C. Fields repeating himself is usually a lot fresher than an ordinary comedian thinking up something suddenly for the first time.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Woman Wanted (1935) EDIT “Woman Wanted, though a programme picture with no particular build-up, is much livelier entertainment than many more pretentious films.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Limehouse Blues (1934) 23% EDIT “George Raft seemed very unhappy in the role.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Caravan (1934) EDIT “It's a tuneful picture, with some pretty photography. But it takes time, takes time.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 11, 2019 Full Review College Rhythm (1934) EDIT “College Rhythm brings Joe Penner, radio star, to the screen, and Joe Penner works furiously, with a duck, at being funny. The duck, I thought, was a little bit funny.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Of Human Hearts (1938) EDIT “Of Human Hearts starts off extremely well... But once the son grows up and goes off to the Civil War, the story falls apart disastrously.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 11, 2019 Full Review The First Hundred Years (1938) EDIT “That familiar problem - a woman's marriage vs. her career - gets another thorough workout in The First Hundred Years.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Till We Meet Again (1936) EDIT “Till We Meet Again isn't one of the more memorable spy pictures; it's a little slow in getting started, and rather involved without being very ingenious.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Sailing Along (1938) EDIT “Pleasant songs and lively dancing help to make up for a routine plot and occasional moments when the picture moves at much the rate of the heroine's barge.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 11, 2019 Full Review The Good Old Soak (1937) EDIT “Una Merkel, Ted Healy and a comedy parrot supply the humor. It's fairly amusing.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Wide Open Faces (1938) EDIT “The result is mostly noise, slapstick, chase sequences, and many many close-ups of Joe E. Brown's wide-open face.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 11, 2019 Full Review The Golden Arrow (1936) EDIT “It's fair comedy, thanks largely to Bette Davis's gay and sparkling performance as the cold-cream heiress.” – Maclean's Magazine Oct 11, 2019 Full Review
