Frank Borzage - Volume Two - Lucky Star / Liliom

LUCKY STAR is the tale of a young Jewish boy taken in by a rich widow. His new home is the perfect setting for him to make-believe that he is a sheriff fighting German outlaws. In LILIOM, a brutish carnival barker is fired from his job and left on the brink of financial ruin. Desperate to make enough money to support his pregnant wife, he agrees to participate in a robbery with a two-bit thief. However, the hold-up goes horribly awry and rather that face arrest, he commits suicide. His soul ends up in Purgatory for ten years, after which he is given an opportunity to visit Earth for one day to make amends for past wrongs.

  Silent Versus Sound
  
  This is a fascinating chance to compare a late silent and an early sound film from the same director and studio. The same visual flair is present in both, but ... read more »

  a mish-mash of stylish flourishes
  
  Liliom has some interesting set designs when it goes into the afterlife section which make up for the fairly poor story.
  
  Best part of the dvd is the ... read more »
