Well shot by Joseph Ruttenberg, and the transformations are effectively handled, but it's generally shallow and anaemic.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A little Freudian theory is a dangerous thing. It can make a piece of errant hokum dizzy with significance.
Under Victor Fleming's direction, it's sober and turgid but far from unwatchable, thanks exclusively to the caliber of the performances.
