...most gripping films Hollywood has made recently. It handles old themes--love, jealousy, lust--in a straightforward, unaffected fashion that carries great conviction. Charles Laughton, as an Italian fruit-grower, and Carole Lombard, as a hash-house waitress, squeeze every bit of pathos and humor from their roles. William Gargan is a truly tragic figure as the villain of the piece, who ruins his own chances for happiness at the same time that he comes near to destroying the lives of those he loves most. Unlike the average Hollywood product, this film uses the setting to great advantage in creating...
