Film Critic

United States

(1878 - 1973)

It Happened One Night (1934)

Publish Date: February 22, 1934
"A good piece of fiction (...) Colbert gives an engaging and lively performance (...) Gable is excellent"

The New York Times
Duck Soup (1933)

Publish Date: November 22, 1933
"[It is] extremely noisy without being nearly as mirthful as their other films. There are, however, one or two ideas in this sea of puns that are welcome"

The New York Times
The Invisible Man (1933)

Publish Date: November 17, 1933
"Photographic magic abounds in the production (...) The story makes such superb cinematic material that one wonders that Hollywood did not film it sooner."

The New York Times
Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933)

Publish Date: June 7, 1933
"It is an imaginatively staged, breezy show (...) It has several humorous episodes"

The New York Times
M (1931)

Publish Date: April 2, 1933
"A strong cinematic work with, remarkably fine acting, it is extraordinarily effective, but its narrative (...) is shocking and morbid."

The New York Times
King Kong (1933)

Publish Date: March 2, 1933
"The narrative is worked out in a decidedly compelling fashion (...) The producers set forth an adequate story and furnish enough thrills for any devotee of such tales."

The New York Times
Cavalcade (1933)

Publish Date: January 5, 1933
"Affecting and impressive (...) Without having seen the original, one senses the genuine quality of the film."

The New York Times
I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang (1932)

Publish Date: November 10, 1932
"A stirring picture (...) Paul Muni plays the leading rôle, giving a convincing and earnest performance (...) There is a touch of genuine romance"

The New York Times
Scarface (1932)

Publish Date: May 19, 1932
"It is a stirring picture, efficiently directed and capably acted (...) Paul Muni as Scarface Tony Camonte gives a compelling portrayal"

The New York Times
Grand Hotel (1932)

Publish Date: April 12, 1932
"It is a production thoroughly worthy of all the talk it has created and the several motion- picture luminaries deserve to feel very proud of their performances, particularly Greta Garbo and Lionel Barrymore."

The New York Times
The Broken Lullaby (1932)

Publish Date: January 19, 1932
"[It] is further evidence of Mr. Lubitsch's genius, for, while it is tearful, its story is unfurled in a poetic fashion, with an unexcelled performance by Lionel Barrymore and fine acting by Phillips Holmes and Nancy Carroll."

The New York Times
Tabu: A Story of the South Seas (1931)

Publish Date: March 18, 1931
"It is an enchanting piece of photography synchronized with a most pleasing music score arranged by Dr. Hugo Riesenfeld (...) It is like a picture poem"

The New York Times
City Lights (1931)

Publish Date: February 6, 1931
"It is a film worked out with admirable artistry, and while Chaplin stoops to conquer, as he has invariably done, he achieves success."

The New York Times
Cimarron (1931)

Publish Date: January 26, 1931
"A graphic and engrossing screen conception of Edna Ferber's widely read novel."

The New York Times
The Blue Angel (1930)

Publish Date: December 5, 1930
"The story is cleverly told (...) It is a decidedly interesting picture with exceptionally fine performances contributed by Mr. Jannings and Miss Dietrich"

The New York Times
Earth (Zemlya) (1930)

Publish Date: October 20, 1930
"Although there are many beautifully photographed views in the Soviet silent film (...) it is far from being an entertaining study"

The New York Times
Nosferatu (1922)

Publish Date: June 3, 1929
"[It] is not especially stirring. It is the sort of thing one could watch at midnight without its having much effect upon one's slumbering hours (...) It is a production that is rather more of a soporific than a thriller"

The New York Times
The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928)

Publish Date: March 30, 1929
"While Carl Dreyer (...) is responsible for the conspicuously fine and imaginative use of the camera, it is the gifted performance of Maria Falconetti as the Maid of Orleans that rises above everything in this artistic achievement."

The New York Times
The Broadway Melody (1929)

Publish Date: February 8, 1929
"While this film boasts of many a gruff incident, it has been rather cleverly directed by Harry Beaumont"

The New York Times
The Cameraman (1928)

Publish Date: September 16, 1928
"[It] is filled with guffaws and grins, the sort of thing with many original and adroitly worked-out gags"
