I would be remiss to not mention this scene from Borzage's Bad Girl with James Dunn - and how similar it is to the scene with Gary Cooper - right down to the subject matter, the articulation of shame and gaze aversion at the end, of an attempt to hide after being so vulnerable.

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...

It's horrible what happened during the on location shoots though - a man drowned and Borzage was very shaken by it - swearing off doing exterior shoots on location until Desire in 1936.

My thoughts on Frank Borzage's The Lady (1925) starring Norma Talmadge - and the near contemporary dearth of its emotional performance work.
