Featured review
Extremely watchable
An interesting title in that I have only heard the term Green Fingers applied to successful gardeners, rather than those with a natural inclination toward osteopathy such as Robert Beatty's Tom Stone. This is a story that grips from the start in an adroitly cast film, with Felix Aylmer authoritative as the osteopath who trains Stone, while Beatty was a natural as a man of integrity, no matter what temptations he encounters eventually. His affair with Nova Pilbeam's socialite is treated in an almost perfunctory manner in the print under review, thus with the possibility of missing footage. Carol Raye is sympathetic as the girl he cures who becomes his loving and supportive wife. She also featured in director John Harlow's next feature, While I Live, which, though a success, did not prevent his career from going into steep decline. There's an apposite score from Hans May in a film that is reliably concerned to present both sides of the merits of its subject.
