The lighter, gentler sort of melodrama. The comedic first half, rosily soft-focusing on our protagonist's humble upbringing, comes together rather well and makes full use of its setting in New York's Jewish community. As much as I do appreciate Borzage's usual commitment to letting performances carry things, the latter half comes off as rather slow and generic, with exactly the sort of straight silliness at the end you know to expect in this sentimental a picture, but still without much force.
