"Name the Man" is a throbbing human heart, its beating responsive to the touch of masterful fingers. "Name the Man" is poignant drama, presented with the art and the genius that make of drama the breath of real life. You can't rave about "Name the Man" — at least we don't feel that we can. Because the white heat of enthusiasm seemed never to fall so far short of expressing the full truth. "Name the Man" is big, not in massive sets nor whirling mobs, but big in its deep-piercing shafts of human appeal. It is worthy of the Victor Seastrom whose work abroad was a prophecy of genius; it is worthy of the Victor Seastrom whom we expected America's wider facilities to mature; and Victor Seastrom proved worthy of it. Seldom have we seen such assured mastery of tempo; such deft evidences of pictorial sense; such inspired playing with the last dregs of emotion in handling big scenes. "Name the Man" is a woman's picture, a man's picture — a picture for all who have hearts and tear ducts. It left us with moistened eyes and an abashed feeling of inability to do justice to so vibrant a work of art.
