TOML-4 Review of The Shining Hour

The Shining Hour (1938)

An amazingly intelligent soap opera.

[10/10 · 2 September 1999]

Although not the most exciting film, this soap opera is one of the 1930's most intelligent films. Crawford, Bainter and Sullivan are riviting in their respective roles. Crawford's stock-in-trade intelligent line readings are never more clearly outlined than in this film.
