The River (1929 film)
The River is a 1929 partialtalkie drama film directed by Frank Borzage, and starring Charles Farrell and Mary Duncan. Much of the film has been lost. A reconstructed version, using still images and explanatory titlecards to bridge the missing scenes, was produced by the Munich Filmmuseum, in collaboration with the cinmathques of Switzerland and Luxembourg. This version was screened in 2006 by the American Museum of the Moving Image in New York City. Borzage also directed Farrell, opposite Janet Gaynor, in Seventh Heaven 1927, Street Angel 1928, and Lucky Star 1929 during this period.
Revue du Cinema critic Jean George Auriol described The River as undoubtedly the most lyrical love film ever made.
