Continually disappoints with a wasting of its substance, with a transmission of the feeling that whatever has been gained, too much has been lost, that what should be vital and arresting has been made hollow and dull.

An excellent biography, just as it is a notable photoplay, dignified in subject, dramatic in treatment and brilliantly played by Paul Muni, Fritz Leiber, Josephine Hutchinson and many other members of the cast.

Expert casting and splendid production are the points in the film's favor, primarily. Paul Muni in the title role is at his very top form.

A true cinematographic creation. [Full review in Spanish]
