As the first Oscar best picture with sound, it has far exceeded my expectations. Although the story is somewhat clichéd, the performance still has a dramatic style, and the film technique is simple and rude—retaining a strong abiding force in theatrical drama, but this is after all a film 80 years ago, and it is already great to reach this level, not to mention The music is very nice. Several leading actors, including Anita Page, who died last year, overplayed a bit, but a few supporting roles performed very well, such as the gentleman who had been on board the ship and the uncle who stuttered.

old movie. The beauty of the 1930s was full of energy. Country girls go to town. Seems like a three-cornered love
