Rating: 2.5/4 -- ...the film's episodic structure ensures that it rarely becomes boring - though the story does lose some momentum towards the end... Full Review

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

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." Full Review

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. Full Review
