State Fair (1933)
100%
“If [State Fair] falls a little short of being a masterpiece, it never fails to be a thoroughly engrossing story told in celluloid. Moreover it seems to me to have more of the genuine feeling -- one might say the smell -- of a State fair.” –

Shanghai Express (1932)
96%
“Louise Closser Hale and Eugene Pallette have engrossing bits and Anna May Wong contributes a mysteriously and darkly drawn character sketch. And Miss Dietrich, as I have intimated, dominates the whole shebang -- and does it gloriously.” –

The Power and the Glory (1933)

It Happened One Night (1934)
98%
“The audience gets tired of waiting for what it knows to be inevitable. The redeeming features, however, are the bright and breezy performances by Gable and Miss Colbert.” –

“Let us hope Barrymore's directors will from now on give him plenty of sparkling nonsense to work with before the camera. In my opinion he is at his best in comedy.” –

Imitation of Life (1934)
88%
“Miss Beavers does the best work of her screen career... and Miss Washington Is splendid as the daughter. There should be a place in fllmdom for the latter young player. She is an actress of genuine ability.” –

Convention City (1933)

“Too much happens in Convention City to be recorded here. Let it merely be said that a perfectly chosen cast keeps things bubbling with mirth at all points.” –
