NY times review
After some little inner struggle, we have decided to make no point of the fact that a picture called "Stranded" moved into the Strand last night. We will say, instead, that "Stranded" presents Kay Francis, as handsomely gowned as ever, and George Brent, more amiable than ever, in a mobile drama which manages to be quite unbelievable and generally entertaining.

This is not as paradoxical as it sounds, especially when one realizes that self-contradiction must be inherent in an industry (or an art, depending on how you look at things) which finds nothing unusual in an episode wherein a smartly groomed young woman breaks into a steel-workers' strike meeting and tells them to go back to work. And how much more amazing when that industry (or art) permits an actress with a lisp to say "Nevah wose youah awwogance!"

It would be hopeless to attempt a synopsis of the story. It begins as a delineation of the work of the Travelers Aid Society — as represented by Miss Francis—transfers its attention to bridge-building—as supervised by Mr. Brent—and builds up to a climax which seems to have been borrowed from "Black Fury." This sounds impossible, we know, but you will be surprised to see how easily Director Frank Borzage makes his transitions.

The picture's chief virtue is its sense of humor. Whether the credit should go to Mr. Borzage, to the scenarists or to the cast is more than we should like to say. But it is in the genuinely amusing scenes between Mr. Brent and Miss Francis, in their hopeless attempts to enjoy romantic solitude while a racketeer is bent on destroying the bridge and when all manner of waifs, strays and down-and-outers are clamoring to be traveler-aided, that the picture is at its best.

The Francis-Brent team, last seen in "Living on Velvet," seems to be a happy combination. Mr. Brent's engaging comedy is an excellent antidote for Miss Francis's penchant for heavy tragedy and keeps her from taking her art too seriously. Also on the sunny side of the cast are Robert Barrat, Barton I MacLane and John Wray. The net result is not bad at all.[/quote]
