7/10
Better Than Planktonrules Thinks
9 January 2009
While i agree with some that this isn't an 8.5/10 movie it's much better than a 3 or a 1. I've only seen Peg O' My Heart once, early last year on TCM, so i need at least one other more recent viewing to write a detailed opinion. What i do remember is that I really enjoyed this film and that Marion Davies was quite good, including her accent. The acting from the cast in general is good, especially from Miss Davies and J. Farrell MacDonald as her father. Miss Davies is a remarkable comedienne and, from what I've read, a kind and generous person who definitely did not deserve her portrayal as Susan Alexander in Citizen Kane. FYI, the play on which this film is based debuted in 1912 which is also the time period in which the film is set, not 1933.
