Review of 7th Heaven

7th Heaven (1927)
From a sewer to the seventh floor of a tenament, love abounds.
8 October 2001
Just to let you know, Seventh Heaven can be rented. I just did that here in New York and each scene is tinted a different color. The war scenes although too long, are very good especially the one when all the Paris taxis go off to war carrying anyone who could fight. But best of all and the only reason to watch this movie is Janet Gaynor extraordinary performance. She won her first Oscar winning role -- first ever Oscar wining role. But Charles Farell is your basic Brad Pitt of his day, beautiful to look at but not enough substance to balance Janet's performance. Oh yes, the Diane Waltz is still beautiful.
