interesting film and partly because cooper be cast so completely against the type he be later to be best know for from his capra film that be of the rural innocent encounter the corruption of the city . this movie be much more in the transcendental tradition of henry hathaway peter ibbetson and also star cooper and release the same year . i have never hear of anna sten but accord to the post she be a protégé of samuel goldwyn in one of her first hollywood film . she do remind me of a fresh faced garbo . overall the acting be fine and character be complex and and the direction be up to king vidor high standard . a fine film . the end in particular be bittersweet .
