Nine
understanding sympathy, universal tolerance, and faith in them. Their transformation is brought about with so much subtlety and persuasiveness that there is no feeling of insincerity: rather it leaves one with the belief that all things are possible under the right circumstances.
It is difficult to single out any performance above another. Minnie Dupree plays the elderly woman perfectly, there is nothing maudlin or exaggerated in her beautiful portrayal. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and Janet Gaynor have never appeared to better advantage. Paulette Goddard brings to her role, directness and a poise which make the girl’s effect on the boy (Fairbanks) seem entirely convincing. Roland Young is flawless in his part, and Billie Burke as the usual
silly flighty woman gives just the right touch without stepping over the border-line into straight farce. Richard Carlson, a newcomer, displays personality and charm, and Henry Stephenson is as always competent.
The musical score is notable, suggesting the mood without obtruding. It is not to be overlooked in the success of the picture. To those who wish to enjoy brilliant smart dialogue, a clever story, interesting settings, subtle humor, and a heartwarming belief in the inherent worth of faith as applied to daily living, we recommend “The Young in Heart.”
