D: William Dieterle. Barbara Stanwyck, Warren William, Glenda Farrell, Grant Mitchell, Arthur Byron. State Attorney General William secretly weds governor's daughter Stanwyck, and summarily learns that her father may be taking bribes from a convicted embezzler. Tidy, well-acted drama.

D: Archie Mayo. Barbara Stanwyck, Otto Kruger, Ralph Bellamy, Ruth Donnelly, Frank Albertson. New Englander Stanwyck, a Daughter of the American Revolution, weds German-born college professor Kruger. He becomes an American citizen--and then WW1 comes. Well-meaning soaper reflects the mood of the period, but is too hurried and simplistic to really score.

D: Archie Mayo. Barbara Stanwyck, James Rennie, Ricardo Cortez, Joan Blondell, Charles Butterworth, Natalie Moorhead. Independent-minded Stanwyck loves Rennie, but doesn't want marriage to taint her happiness. Boring, badly directed, overly talky "talkie.'' Remade two years later as EX-LADY.

D: Richard Boleslawski. Fredric March, Charles Laughton, Cedric Hardwicke, Rochelle Hudson, Frances Drake, John Beal, Florence Eldridge, Jessie Ralph, Leonid Kinskey. Meticulous production of Victor Hugo's classic tale. Minor thief March tries to bury past and become respectable town mayor, but police inspector Javert (Laughton) won't let him. John Carradine has bit part as student radical. Screenplay by W. P. Lipscomb.

D: Lewis Milestone. Michael Rennie, Debra Paget, Robert Newton, Sylvia Sidney, Edmund Gwenn, Cameron Mitchell, Elsa Lanchester, Florence Bates. Glossy but thoughtful remake of the venerable Victor Hugo classic.
