Frank Borzage

Highest Rated: 100% History Is Made at Night (1937)

Lowest Rated: 75% Strange Cargo (1940)

Birthday: Apr 23, 1894

Birthplace: Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

Borzage switched from acting to directing in 1916, bringing to the screen a dedication to romanticism that became his trademark. Although undoubtedly sentimental--and criticized by some for it--his films, from "Humoresque" (1920) through "Moonrise" (1948), were not only undeniably popular but, at their best, were also the moving, highly artful and visually enthralling work of an instantly recognizable filmmaker, a genuine auteur.
