Errol manages it with the help of nothing more than fire, sword, galloping horses, conspiring friends, and a few scattered incidents when he is called upon to prove that his strength is as the strength of ten because his heart is afire with love for the queen.

She also posed prettily in Hollywood's favorite robe, which her publicists explained she would wear on the screen...
...millions of U.S. cinemadorers who like their smorgasbord straight, wise Warner Bros, are taking no chances. Certain that Garbo is still best remembered as the East River waif in Anna Christie, they will soon exhibit Viveca in an adaptation of Ships in the River, a novel of the N.Y. waterfront...
