Trivia:
In September 1928, Warner Bros. Pictures purchased a majority interest in First National Pictures and from that point on, all "First National" productions were actually made under Warner Bros. control, even though the two companies continued to retain separate identities until the mid-1930's, after which time "A Warner Bros.-First National Picture" was often used. moreGoofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): William Janney's character name is credited as "Gordon" on screen, but he is called "Donny" throughout. moreSoundtrack:

The original John Monk Saunders story to this film deservedly won an Oscar. The remake has all the polish this early talkie does not, but fails to impress emotionally. The acting here is uniformly excellent and the special effects are impressive as well. It is directed at a slower pace than modern audiences are used to - this was the early talkie era after all, but despite the slow spots and the lack of background music (sometimes the silence is more than palpable), it adds up to a strong emotional drama that is rather unforgettable.
