Rating: 3/4 --
A solid, emotionally charged picture that bridges a gap between German expressionism and poetic realism.
Detroit Free Press
Murnau's final Hollywood film is widely underrated.

Rating: 1.5/4 --
Its original title was Bread, which would account for the film's obsession with wheat. The story takes a long time to unfold.

It's distinguished mostly by the great director's special creative touches in filming.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Some of Murnau's genius remains in the lighting of individual shots, and particularly in a lyrical sequence in which a man (Charles Farrell), a woman (Mary Duncan), and Murnau's camera dance through a sunlit field.

Description by OLDIES.com:
F.W. Murnau tells the story from the play The Mud Turtle by Elliott Lester of a farmers son, Lem, who comes to the big city where he meets and falls in love with Kate, the girl of his dreams. When he brings her home to meet his parents, his father predicts disaster for the relationship because he believes Kate to be a gold digger. This fear sabotages the marriage, and Kate eventually leaves the farm, with Lem in pursuit.
