★★★★★ · Picture Brides-1934 · revdaddy · 2012-09-24
What a great movie! It has a plot, is fairly well acted, good (mas or minos)print and a tinny but good audio. This is worth the 59 minutes to see. There were some early film errors. They spoke some Spanish, but were supposed to be in Brazil where Portugese is spoken. There was a very pretty girl named Mateo, which is spanish for Matthew. All in all, a good soundie.
