For the Love of Film...

Welcome to my review website. I love movies, and here’s the place I talk about them. You’ll find my ratings, on a scale of zero to five stars, in all of my posts. For each film, I’ve written either a full critique, which is a longer piece; a compact review, which is usually just a paragraph; or a quick take, which is only a sentence or two. I also post articles about the world of cinema on my film blog.

In the Comments section on each page, feel free to share your own thoughts and feelings about the films discussed here.

Lights! Camera! Action!

Smilin’ Through (1932)

Smilin’ Through (1932)

David R. George III
Quick Takes

Interesting story of a man who loses the love of his life, whose orphaned niece later comes as a child to live with him. The niece then grows into the spitting image of her aunt, only to fall for the son of the man’s rival.
