...recites the Gettysburg Address, he does so from his heart and the full solemnity of its 266 words is in the bashful quaver of his voice. That this fable of a transplanted menial who becomes hero of a town which he describes as "a remote settlement" is as tender and as softly humorous now as it was when Harry Leon Wilson wrote it 20 years ago, is not due entirely to Charles Laughton's superbly skillful performance as the hero.
