Chicago Reader review:
Cecil B. De Mille's weak point was always his direction of actors, but this 1939 epic about the building of the first transcontinental railroad is graced by a lively cast—Joel McCrea, Barbara Stanwyck, a villainous Robert Preston—that makes De Mille's charging narrative seem even more entertaining than usual. With Akim Tamiroff, Brian Donlevy, Anthony Quinn, and Evelyn Keyes.
