We'll Always Have Paris
By Jeffrey M. Anderson Buy Posters at Moviegoods.com Frank Borzage's lovely gem Seventh Heaven (1927) is set on the eve of World War I and stars Oscar winner Janet Gaynor with her big-eyed, small doll's face. She plays a Paris gamine, terrorized by her absinthe-addled older sister. Charles Farrell plays a sewer worker-turned-street washer who rescues her by taking her in. Borzage -- who also won an Oscar -- directs with an intuitive sense of emotional temperature; he keeps things boiling under the surface while the screen only registers a simmer. Gaynor won a Best Actress Oscar for this and two other movies (Sunrise and Street Angel) from the same year. Writer Benjamin Glazer also won an Oscar.
