Robert Montgomery, Nat Pendleton, and Madge Evans turn in remarkable performances. Please note the talents of Mr. Pendleton. He could do comedy and serious roles. Also, his background is very interesting (Olympic athelte). The trip through New Jersey and Pennsylvania at the time (1934) shows a sparsely populated countryside. At that time, the George Washington Bridge had only one level and the highways were mostly two lanes. Also, if you're familiar with the George Washington Bridge, the entrance on the New York side was vastly different from what it is today. It's almost like taking a trip aboard a time machine.
