...supporting cast, headed by Francois Perier as the shiftless husband and Suzy Delair as Gervaise's scheming enemy, is impeccable, and M. Clement's direction achieves its effects brilliantly. In term of motion picture artistry. Gervaise constitutes a nearly perfect effort (although the Brattle's projection technique leaves something to be desired.)

Religous zeal and patriotism are examples of attitudes missing or rare at Harvard, the epithet "pious" provokes dension, and the term "all-American" would only be used in a perjorative sense...
