Reviews
" Melodramatic adventure story. Despite a number of accomplished Hollywood craftsman front of and behind the camera a more conventional entertainment movie. "
" The later " Ben Hur "director William Wyler completed the work. Nevertheless, the end result bears rather Hawks ' handwriting, although he certainly is one of his lesser -known films right. But even here, in a secondary work, Hawks win his actors partly from extraordinary performance. "
