Many shots show an early awareness of mood and expression, using heavy shadows and diagonal shapes to establish visual conflicts.

One of those prestige pics from decades past that make you wonder exactly what all the fuss was about.

Rating: B+ --
One of John Ford's in-depth probes of the doctor's role in society, Arrowsmith was based on the novel by Sinclair Lewis who refused the 1926 Pulitzer because of the prize's alleged advocacy of work that endorsed "the wholesome American life."

Brilliant, too little seen John Ford film of the Sinclair Lewis novel.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Even with its flaws Arrowsmith (1931) is a glorious Pre-Code film. It tackles a difficult subject, isn't afraid to experiment and there is a refreshing lack of racism.

Emotionally gratifying, it dramatically only crawls along with so many actionless scenes.
