Plot
Old sailor Chris Christofferson eagerly awaits the arrival of his grown daughter Anna, whom he sent at five years old to live with relatives in Minnesota. He has not seen her since, but believes her to be a decent and respectably employed young woman.
Sinekatalog’s take
A stagey early sound drama about a young woman with a hidden past reuniting with her seafaring father. The star is magnetic, even when the dialogue creaks. Worth watching for fans of classic Hollywood leading ladies.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
