It stars Sylvia Sidney, Mary Astor, and Edward Arnold. The film is based on the 1911 novel Jennie Gerhardt by Theodore Dreiser.[1] Cast
ReceptionThe film received a mixed critical reception upon release in June 1933. Motion Picture Herald said that Jennie Gerhardt is "strictly an adult picture. Selling it successfully depends upon your ability to construct campaigns that will intrigue human interest and sympathy in the character of Jennie." He added that despite its large cast, much of the action was centred about Sylvia Sidney.[2] Mordaunt Hall of The New York Times stated that "although the film is handicapped by a lack of suspense and some choppy and trite dialogue, it possesses a laudable sincerity, which may result in its being popular with those who are partial to this genre of story." He further said: "Actually the producers have succeeded in putting into the picture a wealth of detail and the pity is that it is done without the necessary suspense. It is like a story told in a monotone, with vacillating characters who are a little too much at the beck and call of the director. The incidents, while not implausible, do not possess sufficient spontaneity.[3]Keith Newlin, author of A Theodore Dreiser Encyclopedia, described it as an "episodic picture (broken into a number of short scenes)" and considered it to be more like the novel than most other Dreiser film adaptations. However, he believed that Gering had inexplicably "inserted several jarring scenes apparently in an attempt to provide the audience with some comic relief."[4] Dreiser himself approved of the film, considering it to be "moving" and "beautifully interpreted".[4][5] References1. ^{{cite book|last=Parish|first=James Robert|title=The Paramount Pretties|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=f3VZAAAAMAAJ|year=1972|publisher=Arlington House|isbn=978-0-87000-180-2|page=284}} 2. ^{{cite book|title=Motion Picture Herald|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ycgcAQAAMAAJ|year=1933|publisher=Quigley Publishing Company|page=38}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Jennie Gerhardt (1933) Sylvia Sidney and Donald Cook in a Pictorial Version of a Theodore Dreiser Novel.|first=Mordaunt|last=Hall|authorlink=Mordaunt Hall|url=https://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9801E5DD1238E333A2575AC0A9609C946294D6CF|work=The New York Times|date=June 9, 1933|accessdate=June 9, 2014}} 4. ^1 {{cite book|last=Newlin|first=Keith|title=A Theodore Dreiser Encyclopedia|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Qqsc3zwrDtIC&pg=PA3|year=2003|publisher=Greenwood Publishing Group|isbn=978-0-313-31680-7|page=3}} 5. ^{{cite book|last=Gogol|first=Miriam|title=Theodore Dreiser: Beyond Naturalism|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6bbD_c6wG1MC&pg=PA194|year=1995|publisher=NYU Press|isbn=978-0-8147-3074-4|page=194}} External links
