Gregg Toland’s extraordinary black and white cinematography creates a haunting, poignant effect.

As a period melodrama I find it quite moving because of the way Wyler makes notes on prejudice, social class and impossible love, with great performances and a very luminous visual style from Toland. [Full review in Spanish]

Destined for immediate success due to a stellar cast and a powerful story based on the lauded novel.
