You didn't mention Walter Huston's acting which many considered the high point of the movie.
The book upon which it is based, of course, is by Sinclair Lewis, one of the finest novelists of his generation. I especially liked "Arrowsmith" and "Main Street."
Is it possible you don't have a "feel" for American history and the context of this work?

I know he received the Oscar, but frankly, I was not too grabbed by his acting. But Maria Ouspenskaya really put a great, albeit short, show, and what a remarkably interesting biography she had!
