Directed by Sidney FranklinMy rating: 2 stars out of 4

Towering star power is about the only saving grace of this creaky, static early talkie. I don't think the camera moves for the first 15 minutes of the film. Norma Shearer is good as usual as the sickly poetess Elizabeth Barrett. However, Charles Laughton is laughably stuffy and serious as her overbearing father.
