sure and 65 year have pass since thalberg last production be film . but fellow imdb member and come on and this movie be surely one of the masterpiece of the 30 . it be a 10. this be the first movie i saw at new york museum of modern art and around 1970 ( i be a teenager ) . expensive look yet with scene of such poverty and masterfully photograph and often thrilling and and always engage and to me it be mgm movie making at it best . what do audience feel when they glimpse a locust attack and the person by person destruction of a mansion and the horrific poverty and then the splendor of wealth . last week and those watch the academy award have a glimpse of the senior oscar winner in attendance and luise rainer . how grand to see an actress who arguably deliver one of the most masterful and haunt performance in history elect to return for a celebration . ok and so she should not have win the year before ( great ziegfeld ) and but do not blame luise . talkie be only a decade old when this be release and and her dialogue limited . but a olan and her use of visual and vocal be memorable . large scale and touching and what more could a movie lover want .
