The post Frank Borzage – The Shining Hour (1938) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

John, an American pilot crashes in France and must get to the underground before the Nazis can capture him. He is helped by a naive young nun Sister Clothilde who, despite her calling to the Lord and the fact that John is happily married, falls in love with the stranded pilot. Once they hook up with the underground, she agrees to pose as his “wife” so that he may transport secret documents from the French freedom fighters to London. In the end, Sister Clothilde sacrifices herself to save John and is captured by the Nazis, who plan to ship her off to a German whorehouse for active duty. Rather than see her suffer a fate worse than death, French Mayor Vitrey kills Sister Clothilde.

The post Frank Borzage – Till We Meet Again (1944) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Even though its release date in 1933 pre-dated the most rigorous version of Hollywood’s Production Code,Man’s Castle still ran into censorship problems over such material as a man and woman skinny-dipping, and an unmarried pregnancy. Cuts were made to the original print even before the film came out, and still more for a 1938 re-release. Director Frank Borzage was at the height of his career, and Spencer Tracy on the verge of becoming a major star, but the controversy surrounding Man’s Castle seemed to affect its box office appeal, and it faded into obscurity.

Despite all that, the film stands up as a remarkable combination of soaring romance and wrenching depiction of the privation brought about by the Depression. Tracy plays Bill, a lifelong drifter living in a Manhattan shantytown who’s barely surviving from doing odd jobs. By chance, he comes across Trina (Loretta Young), a young woman who hasn’t eaten for two days but isn’t prepared to sell her body as a solution. Bill’s nearly broke himself, but gets her a free meal at an expensive restaurant by embarrassing the manager.

Inevitably, they become a couple, and set up house in a shack in the shantytown, with an alcoholic old woman, an ex-minister, and an unscrupulous vagrant who lusts after Trina for company. Trina is soon completely devoted to Bill, and is intent on building a life with him. He’s wary of commitment and, despite his real feelings for her, tries fending Trina off in various ways, including by sniping at her unfairly and having a fling with an actress. None of this deters her, but matters come to a head when she falls pregnant…

STRANDED is a lightweight but enjoyable romance starring George Brent and Kay Francis.

A world of girders and cable – that’s where Mack Hale works, supervising the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. In its shadow is a world of hopes and fears. That’s where Lynn Palmer works, aiding travelers stranded in an unforgiving city during the depths of the Depression. In this fast-paced romantic drama directed by two-time Academy Award® winner* Frank Borzage, Kay Francis and George Brent portray a young couple threatened by gangsters eager to muscle in on the construction payroll. The plot is crisp but Stranded is equally engaging as a snapshot of time and place as Lynn does her best for an unwed mother, a destitute boy, four giggling mail-order brides and more bewildered folks grateful for her helping hand.

The post Frank Borzage – Green Light (1937) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

This MGM musical lifts the premise of Pride and Prejudice and plunks it down into the early 1900s. S.Z. Sakall is a restaurateur who has decreed that his seven daughters must marry in order of age — the oldest one first. Kathryn Grayson isn’t the oldest, but she has the sweetest singing voice, and it is she who bags the first husband (Van Heflin). For the record, the remaining six sisters are played by Marsha Hunt, Frances Rafferty, Cecilia Parker, Peggy Moran, Dorothy Morris and Frances Raeburn. Seven Sweethearts was produced by Joe Pasternak, who’d been doing much the same material when in charge of Universal’s Deanna Durbin vehicles. ~ Hal Erickson

Note: this is NOT set in the early 1900s. I think Hal needs to watch a bit more closely, if he watches at all.
