From this to Jack London's "Call of the Wild" is quite a leap, but we made it all right. Clark Gable and Loretta Young keep things moving, if you get our thought, and the photography is particularly good. According to publicity releases the Call of the Wild company was stranded for weeks up in the Sierras. Whether this is strict fact or not, a high degree of reality has been achieved. In fact, we left the University fairly glowing with plans for a camping trip...
...Loretta Young lends her well known charms to the character of Berengaria of Navarre, whom Richard consents to marry, sight unseen, for some boat loads of grain. Taking advantage of his kingly prerogative, Richard sulks in his tent and merely sends his sword to the wedding, but after their first meeting in the flesh things warm up a little. We were sitting on the edge of our seat waiting for that famous mouthful, "Berengaria, I love you!"--but it never came and we were much disappointed...
...King Philip of France's sister Alice (Katherine DeMille). This turns out to be most advantageous. Before embarking at Marseille, Richard gets a boatload of cattle and feed for his army by marrying the daughter of the King of Navarre. She is a thoroughly worthwhile blonde named Berengaria (Loretta Young), and Richard sails off to the Wars in much better style than he had any reason to expect...

Assiduous cinemaddicts, who have seen it emphasized in 75% of all previous geographic problem plays, should experience small difficulty in assimilating the moral of the picture, implicit in the scene in which Dmitri and his heiress decide to part forever: East is East and West is West. This scrap...
...hardly be said to be accurate history. The romantic story of the young clerk's rise from a desk to the domination of all India with its untold millions, has been dressed up in splendid clothes and given the proper Kiplingesque tone of magnificent imperialism. For cinematic purposes Miss Loretta Young has been given the vastly expanded role of Clive's wife and though this no doubt brings more fans to the box-office it can hardly be said to add to the strength of the picture. The famous events in the history are told with dramatic force which make...
