Queen Christina (1933) 81% EDIT “The final eloseup of her face, suggesting a boat's figurehead, is austerely beautiful and the sum of all her art.” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review Counsellor-at-Law (1933) 100% EDIT “Of the current epidemic of lawyer-pictures, "Counsellor-at-Law" is-the best. John Barrymore doesn't fit the part as did Paul Muni, but Elmer Rice's excellent storycraftsmanship carries the picture through.” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review Fashions (1934) EDIT “The best of the smart-written pictures is Fashions of 1934, set in the Paris dress salons, with William Powell playing fast and tricky as an American slicker.” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review Roman Scandals (1933) EDIT “About ten percent of Roman Scandals is one hundred per cent entertainment. But the show on the whole is slow.” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review Nana (1934) 71% EDIT “The picture is stodgy, pretentious, and utterly without the Zola verve. One can't quite decide about Anna. Maybe it was the wrong picture, or maybe she really can't act.” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review Convention City (1933) 86% EDIT “Guy Kibbee, Adolph Menjou, Joan Blondell, and a mob of swell small-part actors keep the convention rolling on its belly, on its behind, on its ear. It's a perfect piece of native satire and a riot of entertainment.” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review Captains Courageous (1937) 94% EDIT “At once the most virile and the tenderest of recent Hollywood photoplays; should rank high on any list of best pictures of all time.” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review The Prince and the Pauper (1937) 71% EDIT “The kids are surrounded with a terrific cast, including Claude Rains, Errol Flynn, Barton MacLane...” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review My Man Godfrey (1936) 97% EDIT “A frothy, frivolous farce...” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review The Devil Doll (1936) 79% EDIT “...all this is wasted in a drearily complicated yarn.” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review Night Must Fall (1937) EDIT “Surprise masterpiece performance by Robert Montgomery in a psychological chiller. Rosalind Russell also strong. Film similar but in every way superior to Love From A Stranger.” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review Nine Days a Queen (1936) EDIT “A British production which is an excellent companion piece to Mary of Scotland. Between the two of them, you'll have a neat chunk of history. Nine Days a Queen is on the whole more satisfactory entertainment.” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review Elephant Boy (1937) 100% EDIT “...as in all Flaherty films, the camera becomes so intimate as to reveal the very soul of the subject. If elephants have souls, they're in that film.” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review Girls' Dormitory (1936) EDIT “The film is negligible but for the introduction of Simone Simon, a young French actress who has the goods.” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review The Outcasts of Poker Flat (1952) EDIT “Not very hearty attempt at a classic.” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review Internes Can't Take Money (1937) EDIT “Cockeyed jumble of gangster and hospital picture ideas...” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review EDIT “Splendidly mounted, splendidly cast, but doesn't quite come off.” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review Love From a Stranger (1937) EDIT “The climax is well-worth waiting for.” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review EDIT “Josephine Hutchinson does the best work of her career as the heroine.” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review The Good Old Soak (1937) EDIT “Wallace Beery stumbling around, and everyone else walking through.” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review His Brother's Wife (1936) EDIT “Everyone in the picture is so awfully straight-backed...” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review The Road to Glory (1936) EDIT “...on the whole the film is a repetition of the usual baloney about courage and fortitude and patriotism.” – Esquire Magazine May 5, 2020 Full Review Libeled Lady (1936) 86% EDIT “A four-ace cast in a scrambled-couple farce.” – Esquire Magazine May 4, 2020 Full Review Valiant Is the Word for Carrie (1936) EDIT “Introducing, with complete success, that mighty fine actress, Gladys George.” – Esquire Magazine May 4, 2020 Full Review Give Me Your Heart (1936) EDIT “Timed to the last eyelash by Roland Young, this is a classic bit of fun.” – Esquire Magazine May 4, 2020 Full Review
