Title: & a welcome to the arms of morpheus
Review: gary cooper and helen hayes play noble in this early talkie adaptation of hemingways overrated novel of the great war, a rogueish ambulance driver and the fallen woman he loves. cooper was often accused of being stiff, and tho i do not usually accept that assessment, i see it here. unfortunately he is matched by hayes, who might have been a great stage actress (i never saw her there) but was always a pest on screen (was there EVER a more undeserved oscar win than "airport"?). good hammy performance by adolphe menjou as the almost-villain of the piece, but thats hardly enough to recommend this otherwise stolid affair.
Is the review positive or negative?
