When Utterly Dark was a baby, she was washed up on the shores of the Autumn Isles and taken in by the Watcher It was always at sundown they were seen. Both Robinson and Colbert are decent enough in their roles but I'm not sure anyone watching this in 1929 would have guessed that they'd go on to become legends.It was always at sundown they were seen. The one good thing about the film is that it clocks in at just 63- minutes so it's certainly over before you know it. I'm guess since this was an early talkie the screenwriters just through everyone would be caught up in the dialogue that they wouldn't pay attention to how silly the story was. The entire thing with the psychic just doesn't work and at times it becomes rather laughable. As I said, the screenplay here is certainly the worst thing about the picture as the entire thing is just way too dumb to make you actually care about anything going on. While the film is pretty stupid all around, the appeal of the two stars makes it worth watching. THe film has pretty much been forgotten today except to those who want to see two future legends in their talkie debuts. THE HOLE IN THE WALL is a pretty ridiculous drama story that should have been re-written a few times before it was actually filmed. That's until they meet Jean Oliver (Claudette Colbert) who agrees to help them as long as they help her kidnap a child from a woman who caused her to go to jail. They get away with so many crimes due to help from a psychic but when she is killed the leader fears their criminal days are over.
