Frank Borzage

Post by ken123 »

I would like to see a boxed set of this directors works. Stange Cargo ( coming in Feb.in the Joan Crawford collection ) ,Three Comrades, and The Mortal Storm would IMHO be three good films to start off the set. I also would't mind if The Spanish Main were included.This 1946 RKO film in Technicolor stars a red haired actress form Ireland. :wink:

Me too! If Fordy's box set does well Fox is considering it I've read. I love his silents with Janet Gaynor and Desire, which was supervised by Lubitsch.

Frank Borzage is certainly my all-time favourite director. :D I like very much his MGM period with Maggie Sullavan (Three Comrades, The Mortal Storm, The Shining Hour). But, I would like to see the release of rarer features such as Man's Castle (Columbia) and Little Man, What Now? (Universal).
I have seen quite a few of his silents (Seventh Heaven, The River, Lucky Star, Street Angel, Humoresque), but, I haven't managed yet to see The Lady (1925) and the original Secrets (1924) both with Norma Talmadge. let's hope David Shepard is right about the Fox silents boxset. 8)

That would be great. I'd buy the Crawford Collection, just to have a nice digital print of "Strange Cargo".
