ShangLuda Admirable film.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

mark.waltz A love-starved musician who has an unrelenting crush on a temperamental orchestra leader (Charles Boyer), Katharine Hepburn manages to warm her way into his life just by seeming to be at the right place at the right time. They marry but his lavish lifestyle leads him to infidelity. Of course, Hepburn, proving what every woman knows, stands by him as he falls into alcoholic despair, only to save the day when he realizes what she has known all along, that he needs her more than he ever previously cared to admit.This handsome looking romantic drama features the two stars in a predictable story that is filled with some great classical music and believable performances by the two stars. Boyer, obviously, doesn't deserve Hepburn's love, but she perseveres, and the results never make you doubt what will happen. Jean Hersholt gives a wise performance as Hepburn's mentor, providing the heart behind the breakage.

ndisabat I honestly went into this movie thinking it would be god awful like the critics said. I guess I'm prejudice when it comes to Katharine Hepburn.You might say that the way Waterloo Bridge photographed Vivien Leigh is similar to how Hepburn is photographed in Break of Hearts.Her face and her eyes are aglow in nearly every scene. I don't think she was over acting at all like some have said.Boyer does a decent job as the famous composer Franz Roberti.It really isn't a variation of "A Star is Born" like one reviewer has said.Sure the plot's basically mush, but I still enjoyed seeing Hepburn at the height of her youth.It's a good film for Hepburn fans at least.

raskimono At first I wasn't going to bother myself to review this movie which I found very inconsequential. In fact I watched the movie with one eye while concentrating on other things. I am only reviewing it because there is only one other review for the movie. That is a shame because these are two of the most respected actors of their era. The plot as it is nothing unusual. Playboy conductor meets aspiring conductor - they come together - playboy still has wandering eye to which conductress hits the road. Someone they reconcile. Scenes are buffoonish, not dramatic enough nor comedic enough - a rightfully forgotten movie. This needs to be ten lines, why i don't know, some movies aren't worth it so

Daryl Chin (lqualls-dchin) In the 1930s, there were many "adult" dramas about marital maladjustments. This film is striking because the two main characters, played by Katharine Hepburn and Charles Boyer, have musical careers, she as a composer and he as a famous conductor. The movie is sometimes preposterous, but it has an unusual background of classical music, it's nontraditional in its endorsement of female independence, and it has fine performances.
