Beggar on Horseback

The settings can't be given too much praise, for they are original and beautiful as well as inspiring at times. That same praise goes for the technical work and the direction, in fact, for everything about the film but its general effect.

This picture is one of great distinction... Mr. Cruze has shrewdly availed himself of the opportunities afforded by the camera. There are marvelous sets, bizarre costumes, glorious lighting effects, and a most deft handling of the dream scene.

[James Cruze] and Walter Woods, his faithful collaborator, have caught the spirit of George Kaufman and Marc Connelly's play, and have sustained it beautifully.

Unlike anything ever presented on the screen is Beggar on Horseback... so much so that it is next to impossible to convey through the medium of words a comprehensive idea of this production.
