Recreating a role that he had played on stage and in a silent film, Arliss brings class and elegance to this early talkie about the British politician in one of Warner's first biopics.

George Arliss vehicle is pretty stagey, but worth seeing for his title performance.

It's a delightful film that brings back nostalgia for the good old days of 1874.

Weighed down by a terribly outdated acting style and leaden direction, but George Arliss's Oscar-winning performance makes it watchable.
