Editorial Review: Description: Mary Pickford makes her final movie appearance in Secrets, adapted from the play by Rudolph Besier and May Edgerton. She also produced the film. Pickford plays a 19th century New England woman who treks across country with her husband Leslie Howard to t Average Rating:
 Rating:  - An American version of CavalcadeThis movie was released the same year as the Oscar winning British film Cavalcade. I've seen them both, and yet Cavalcade was more celebrated then - and now - as "Secrets", even though Secrets is similar to Cavalcade in many ways. Secrets tells the story of a couple through 50 years from their secret courtship in New England and elopement, to their days building up a farm in California, through the husband's rise in politics and then their old age. It really is strongly structured into three acts, ...

Running just 83 minutes, this 1933 film offers the last performance given by silent screen legend Mary Pickford, and one feels conflicted about her acting here. On one hand, she produces some poignant moments and surprising comic ones with her character - a headstrong, late-19th-century debutante named Mary Marlow intent on marrying John Carlton who heads west in a covered wagon to raise cattle. On the other, Pickford ...

So good, in fact, it makes this otherwise standard early talkie something far greater than it would otherwise be. The story is divided into, I think, three separate acts as it goes from the young couple's courtship to their elderly days. There is a totally inexplicable, ...

Oh there's nothing wrong with Mary, in fact this is one of her best talkie performances (only KIKI is better in my opinion but Pickford hated it and did her best to suppress it) and it clearly shows that Mary could have easily continued to perform in films had she wanted to. But 1933 was a horrendous year for her. The death of her brother Jack, the unravelling of her marriage ... Read More Rating: - Pickford's Swan SongFor years, all Mary Pickford fans have been able to see of her final film were clips and photographs. Finally, this long sought-after movie is being released to the public who waits anxiously to see one of the biggest silent film stars in her swan song. Mary plays Mary Marlow, a beautiful and wealthy girl for whom her family has arranged a marriage. Her fiancee is dull and elderly, but his wealth earmarks him as a good mate. However, Mary has her sights on another man, a poor but hardworking employee of her father's. ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
