In most cases, however, Mr. Mamoulian commits the unpardonable sin of being far too extravagant. He becomes tedious in his scenes of the convent and there is nothing but viciousness in his stage passages.

Applause is familiar in its plot and characters and its ending is admittedly ridiculously harsh, but this is still such a good early sound film with some excellent, really groundbreaking camera movements and sound quality at display here and it is an excellent mix of musical, melodrama and romance with many dramatic and heartbreaking scenes, but also having many truly wonderful, romantic sequences that are so charming. It is a weird, but memorable early talkie.

Rouben Mamoulian was a visionary, and you can see his genius in every frame of this film. There is nothing static about the camera work in this 1929 tragedy. Yes, the story is a bit creaky to modern eyes, and the dialog can be a little heavy-handed, but the story is darker than would be allowed just a few years later, and very adult. Helen Morgan is a revelation - almost unrecognizable in her dowdy costume and peroxide wig. Joan Peers is suitably terrified of her step-father, who is believably horrific. Further, the Kino DVD has all sorts of great extras that are worth the price of admission on their own. Terrific find.

This is a perfectly observed character study, small in story but ablaze with one of the finest screen performances of all time. Paprika Steen is so phenomenal, her work is almost beyond description. Watching this, one is never quite sure where the film is going, yet always certain wherever it goes, it'll be flawlessly true.
