Based on a long-running stage success and wildly popular upon its first release, Seventh Heaven is probably Frank Borzage's most famous film, the one where all his principles of mystical romance come together most distinctively.

This was a perfect example of how the silent film medium had been improved and perfected as one of the premiere art forms of the 20th Century.

I find particularly moving its melodrama about poverty, love and hope. [Full review in Spanish]

[Frank Borzage] has displayed real originality, imagination, sympathy and restraint, and has converted Seventh Heaven into an extremely effective picture.
