Ok, so for a movie made nearly 90 years ago, it's obviously going to look a bit dated, but that by no means takes too much away from this film now.
The acting is predictably hammy or over the top, except for the great Irene Dunne, which should also be expected for a movie of it's time.
I won't go into the technicalities of camera work and the like because I'm no expert on such matters. But I will say this. It looks damned spectacular.
These were the days when they could make movies involving casts of thousands and make it look fantastic, especially the opening Oklahoma Land Rush scene. Truly a sight to behold and be amazed.
The really, sadly, don't make 'em like this any more.
Great story.Great sets.Great movie.
