This film feels much more modern than one typically made only 6 years after the introduction of the talkies. The actors do not adopt the theatrical stances commonly found in films of this age, the sets are well detailed and much use is made of atmospheric external cinematography.
The plot involving love of a couple between two feuding families is hardly innovative and the only downside I find is the somewhat cod (excuse the pun) Yorkshire accents and use of the descriptive but cliched word "Champion"!
