By P.S. Harrison (1929)
From what I have learned from those who have so far played Sunrise, it will pay you to pay for it and lay it on the shelf. While it is an artistic piece of work, the theme is very unpalatable; the hero attempts to murder his wife, so that he might run away with another woman, with whom he was infatuated. It leaves an unpleasant taste.
