Are there any Janet Gaynor's in the metro-Detroit area‽ Man alive! What a film! That lady went through it ALL! That had more beauty and tragedy than most films today that are considered beautiful or tragic. That was like Russian literature put to celluloid. What a feature! Gaynor DESERVED that triple or one-third (however you measure it) ORIGINAL Oscar award for her STELLAR performance! That was a GREAT film! I wish I had a hunny to share that experience with, because that is the only thing the film lacked, which was not the fault of the film. That sure was something.

What a moving movie! It makes you appreciate silent movies! Janet Gaynor was fabulous, and the music really added to the movie!

[rjmcallister]

Janet Gaynor was Fox's most durable and versatile actress from silents to sound, and deserved her Oscar in 1929, especially for "Sunrise". This one isn't too shabby, either.

Borzage ... Gaynor.... Farrell.... Independently, they are geniuses - together they reach the sublime

Another homerun with this one, Mr PizzaFlix! Thank you. The sets were superbly designed, and the chemistry between Janet and Charles lit up the screen. Each scene seemed like a painting by Caravaggio.

Now that;s a love story! Just imagine to have been in the theater in 1928. A spellbound audience marveling at the incredible talent of the diminutive 22 year old Gaynor. So beautifully acted. the music and effects were perfect, Direction and cinematography outstanding. Thanks PF. It may be hard to top this silent era treasure.

decent edits with the band and whistling
the music is generally good too - unlike silent pictures with the extended version sonnets.
