The post John M. Stahl – Only Yesterday (1933) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

The Criterion Channel writes:
The first of three film adaptations Universal made of Fannie Hurst’s tear-jerking novel chronicles the fate-battered relationship of Ray (Irene Dunne) and Walter (John Boles), two star-crossed lovers seemingly thwarted from being together by circumstances and time. Tracing their relationship across decades—as the married Walter ascends to prominence as a wealthy financier while Ray remains in the background as the perpetual “other woman”—BACK STREET offers a beautifully restrained and deeply affecting vision of self-sacrifice in the name of love.

Review Summary
After literally inventing the movie musical with The Jazz Singer, Warner Bros. purchased the motion picture rights to the evergreen Sigmund Romberg/Oscar Hammerstein II 2nd operetta The Desert Song. Although the results looked like a photographed stage play (a common failing of early-talkie songfests), the unforgettable Romberg-Hammerstein tunes ({&The Riff Song}, {&One Alone}, the title number) more than carried the day. John Boles stars as The Red Shadow, the Robin Hood-like leader of the Riffs and the bane of the existence of General Bierbieu (Edward Martindel). The good General has another cross to bear in the form of his nerdish, lily-livered son Pierre, who is likewise despised by heroine Margot (Carlotta King). Little does anyone suspect that the wimpy Pierre and the dashing Red Shadow are one in the same! Myrna Loy is exotica personified as the Red Shadow’s native sweetheart Azuri (her navel-exposing harem outfits must be seen to be believed), while comedy relief is supplied by “nance” comedian Johnny Arthur as effeminate reporter Benny Kidd, and Louise Fazenda as Benny’s rambunctious assistant Susan. Partially filmed in Technicolor, this version of The Desert Song, and its 1943 remake, were long withheld from distribution due to the rather lukewarm 1953 version, likewise produced by Warner Bros., which starred Gordon MacRae and Kathryn Grayson. A “pocket” version of The Desert Song, the 2-reel musical The Red Shadow, was released by Warners’ short-subject subsidiary Vitaphone in 1933, with Alexander Gray and Bernice Claire in the leading roles. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Synopsis:
A seaplane departs for China. On board are a nurse escaping a loveless marriage to do work with refugees, a woman hoping to surprise her estranged son, a wealthy heiress trying to distance herself from labor troubles, an oily politician, a moll and a mobster fleeing the wrath of the gangs they’ve double-crossed, two rival munitions salesmen out to cash in on the misery of war, and a fresh-faced young steward. Caught in a course-altering storm, a crash-landing destroys the plane, kills the plane’s officers, and tosses the surviving passengers into the sea. They are washed ashore on an isolated island inhabited solely by mysteriously reclusive Mr. Taylor and his servant, Ping. Until Taylor decides if, how and when he will allow them to take his boat back to China for help, this disparate band must work together, change their self-centered ways, and examine their motives for wanting to escape from the island and their pasts.

Review:
The screen edition of the Kern-Hammerstein musical play is a skillfully photographed work which includes among its ballads, songs and snatches some of the most distinguished melodies of this cinema season. From the Music Hall’s screen and also the throats of John Boles and Gloria Swanson, “Music in the Air” sends out in a high-hearted cavalcade all the gay, tender and superbly romantic lyrics which warmed the flinty heart of Broadway back in the Winter of ’32. The reporter, after listening to “I’ve Told Every Little Star,” finds his typewriter keys jogging along to the rhythms of the music. Then there are “One More Dance,” “The Song Is You,” “We Belong Together” and “There’s a Hill Beyond a Hill,” which is the particular favorite of this columnar ear.Mr. Kern’s matchless songs are enough to insure “Music in the Air” a position among the superior musical pictures. The photoplay as a whole is always a step or two behind its score, but since it manages to avoid a good many pitfalls of the operettish type of entertainment, perhaps we should be grateful for its numerous virtues. For one thing it confines its spectacle effects to the village capers of light-hearted Hungarian lads and maidens. Although the narrative is pretty kittenish in its burlesque of the artistic temperament, it is a definite improvement over most of its recent predecessors, and it is actively pleasant even when it fails to be properly robust in its comedy.As a setting for his partner’s music, Mr. Hammerstein is telling about the kindly music-master of Ebendorf who composes “I’ve Told Every Little Star,” and then drives off to Munich to see his old college friend, now a celebrated music publisher. His pretty daughter and the young village schoolmaster, who love each other with a pure Theocritean devotion, go along with him to see the sights. When the rural visitors reach their destination they find themselves in the midst of a temperamental quarrel between the lyric writer and the prima donna of an impending operetta. The quarrelsome artistes promptly pair off with the rural sweethearts in order to annoy each other. The writer promises the lass that he will put her in a show. The prima donna causes the boy to lose his head and almost persuades him to run off to Venice with her. After all the comic interchange of high pressure temperament, the country visitors are glad to crawl back to Ebendorf and the innocent diversions of smalltime life.Joe May, the German director of “Music in the Air,” tells this musical comedy story in a spirited style and he has succeeded in pacing the narrative briskly enough to avoid the prolonged periods of aridity to which the musical films have accustomed us. Miss Swanson makes an agreeable return to the screen as the prima donna. The years have not scarred her loveliness, and in addition she possesses a pleasing voice and a gift for light comedy. June Lang, in her screen début, reveals a charming face and manner as the guileless country maid. John Boles owns the most cultivated voice in the troupe, and he also is able to dash through the comic episodes with considerable success. It is in the comparatively minor rôles, though, that “Music in the Air” proves to be most personable. There are the delightful Al Shean in the music-master part, which he played on Broadway, Joseph Cawthorn as the crotchety orchestra conductor, Reginald Owen as the music publisher, and Roger Imhof as the good burgomaster of Ebendorf. “Music in the Air” is an agreeable addition to the holiday entertainment lists.The symphony orchestra at the Music Hall offers Tchaikovsky’s “Capriccio Italienne.” Leon Leonidoff’s stage pageant, “Whim-wham,” is in three scenes: “Wings of Love,” “Rhythms in Melody” and “My Guiding Star.”
