Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Borzage's films - or at least the coherent collection made between the mid-twenties and World War II - are sublime demonstrations of a system of sensual spirituality; products of their director's uncompromising romanticism and fluent sense of cinemotion. 7th Heaven tracks the transformational love of Farrell and Gaynor from the sewers to the stars, across time and space, and beyond death itself, affirming triumphantly that melodrama can mean much more than just an excuse for a good weep.Author: PT
