REVIEWS:

"[Ruth] Gordon and [Garson] Kanin, in collaboration with William Shakespeare, have whipped up a modern drama which thoroughly employs the screen to demonstrate the strange excitement and the deathless romance of the theatre. .... The only question is whether [Ronald] Colman is more spectacular as the mentally distressed star of Broadway or as the bearded Venetian Moor.
In either case, he plays an actor cocked and primed for romantic tragedy."
