Rating:  - Sullavan at her best
Well-done heartbreaker scripted (partly) by F. Scott Fitzgerald - and the only picture he worked on where he was so credited (though to his anger much of the dialogue he wrote was ultimately changed). Set in Germany right after WW I, Margaret Sullavan plays the heart-throb of three returning German soldiers (Robert Taylor, Franchot Tone, and Robert Young), who now are partners in an auto repair company. Although all three of them love Sullavan, it's a testament to their friendship that when she decides ... Read More
Rating: - Fitzgerald and Sullavan
A romantic glow hangs over this beautiful picture like a San Francisco fog. The story is based on the fine novel by Erich Maria Remarque and was adapted to the screen by none other than F. Scott Fitzgerald. Frank Borzage was the perfect choice as director for this story of three German WWI expatriates who have bonded for life and the tubercular waif they all love in different ways. A sense of impending tragedy even during the happier scenes creates what one might call romantic noir.

Rating:  - An interesting period piece which skirts the real truth
Franchot Tone, Robert Young and Robert Taylor star as three young German friends who survive the rigors of World War One, and stick together as business partners during the economic hard times that followed.

It is also based on the work of novelist Erich Maria Remarque and also presents an atypically sympathetic view of the Germans who took part in the war (at least of the common soldiers...)

Rating: - Great period film.
This is a poignant movie adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque's novel about three life-long friends in post World War I Germany and beautifully filmed by cinematographer and four-time Oscar winner Joseph Ruttenberg ("Waterloo Bridge", "The Philadelphia Story"). I read somewhere that this is a movie that MGM ran into some problems in its production because it was considered by some to be a war-mongering story. For this film version to be approved by the Hollywood production code in 1938, the political presence ... Read More
Rating: - Inspiring Performances!!!
I don't know why everyone seems to think that the men in this movie were "bored" with these roles, but I thought their performances were wonderful as was the lead woman. I thought everyone did a spectacular job. Margaret Sullaven was mesmerizing in this role as a young woman in love who shows complete selflisness. She is perfect in this part, and will make you laugh and cry throughout the course of the movie. As for the men, while Robert Taylor's performance wasn't one of his better ones, I still think that ... Read More
