Rewatching "A Farewell to Arms" for a piece I'm writing about Borzage's evolving focus on nationalism and military obeisance - and I was struck by this fine bit of emotional acting by Gary Cooper.

Frank Borzage's THE LADY (1925) came out 100 years ago on this day. Norma Talmadge as Polly Pearl is one of the finest performances in cinema history, and defined what the medium was capable of in terms of emotional power. crazyforborzage.substack.com/p/norma-talm...

After seeing the rather disturbing vitriol against TCM for putting Borzage's Mortal Storm and other anti-fascist features on their programming when Trump was sworn in, I'm writing an article on Borzage's evolving reflections on fascism, the fervour of patriotic zeal in society and its individuals.
