Resurrection (Rod La Roque, Dolores Del Rio) is a powerful and thoroughly satisfying picturization of Count Leo Tolstoy's novel. Under the adept direction of Edwin Carewe, abetted by Count Ilya Tolstoy, the tale of nice and unnice love, betrayal and soul-redemption is spun deftly and irresistibly to its logical close.
