Rating: 4/5 --
A flinty, hard-edged melodrama amidst unforgettable landscapes; an early jewel from Michael Powell.
Nick's Flick Picks
Rating: 3/4 --
This first "serious" film by Powell doesn't seem to predict his career. You can't imagine the maker of this film going on to make The Red Shoes. What it does show, though, is a voluptuous regard for visual images.

Rating: 4/4 --
Told with old-fashioned simplicity yet avoiding any trace of sentimentality or emotionalism, it's a small-scale masterpiece that shouldn't be missed by anyone interested in cinematic storytelling at its most compelling.
