Note that the movie was previewed and audiences hated it. Studio head Irving Thalberg was told it was not salvageable, but he ordered that the ending be re-shot, as well as some of the earlier scenes. Helen Hayes was already making "Arrowsmith", but she did the re-shoots on her off days, and after the new ending was added, Hayes won an Academy Award! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the still pictured at lower left has a snipe on the back that incorrectly identifies Jean Hersholt as Lewis Stone. Condition: good to very good.
