Critics' reviews

"One of the quintessential Hollywood shipboard romances, with William Powell and Kay Francis as the seemingly doomed lovers who meet on the high seas"

Michael Wilmington: Chicago Tribune
"This vintage movie is just another reminder that when it comes to movie romance, there's nothing more satisfying than a broken heart"

David Ansen: Newsweek
"If this doesn't make you well up, nothing will"

Susan King: Los Angeles Times
