A wonderful technical achievement, it's one of the best produced silent films I've seen with some incredibly long, unbroken tracking shots. Janet Gaynor is as cute as a button and a fine actress, but this type of tragically sweet romantic drama is just not my bag. I can appreciate the obvious talent on display, though.

Mawkish, but in that distinctive 1920s fashion that's irresistible. Janet Gaynor is charming, and Borzage shows some killer cinematographic chops. An overlong goodbye sequence, for instance, is followed by a really great tracking shot of Gino searching for Angela in the street, and the foggy scenes at the end look great, among many others.

A masterpiece by Borzage! Amazing use of imagery, beautiful and captivating music, great use of light and furthermore a perfect simplistic melodrama! Loved the misty scenes and the kind of fantasy world Borzage creates with his sets and often unsharp shots. For me, it was a little too much over the top romance and made me want to say 'o god' a few times... however the ending scene in the church gave me the shivers! PERFECT!
