In 1930, Pickford had begun a remake of the Norma Talmadge Secrets titled Forever Yours with director Marshall Neilan and actors Kenneth MacKenna and Don Alvarado.

After spending $300,000, Pickford stopped production and destroyed all the negatives[1] because she was unhappy with the results; in 1933 a fresh start with Borzage was announced.

While John and hired hand Sunshine are away getting supplies, notorious outlaw Jake Houser and his gang show up and rustle the herd.

The New York Times review was mixed: “Mary Pickford, whose comely presence has not decorated the Broadway screens for two years...is now to be seen...in a very free translation of the play ‘Secrets.’ This current offering has its intriguing episodes, notably in the beginning, but the latter sections are somewhat confusing.

It seems as if Frances Marion, who was responsible for the adaptation, had suddenly reaized, after becoming very enthusiastic over her own ideas that there must be something about the basic thought of the parent work in the production.

It is then that one hears that John Carlton, who has shown himself to be a heroic and an ideal husband, has been philandering in a California city....Notwithstanding the disjointed story, Leslie Howard favors it with an excellent performance.

Miss Pickford is vivacious and charming in the New England phases of the picture, but her acting during the hard times in the log cabin is not always convincing.
