Hi, Taxidriver474! I just signed up on the IMDB so I came across your posting. To answer your question, no, you're not the only one. I first saw this wonderful, beautiful movie when I was 13 years old (32 years ago, in 1973!!!) and fell in love from the first frame. Is it any wonder that Janet Gaynor won the first Best Actress Oscar? Wow, what a performance!!!!! She made Diane so real that you just want to take this sweet girl in your arms and hold her!!!!! It's too bad they didn't have a Best Supporting Actress catagory yet because Gladys Brockwell would've won hands down. She played the psychotic Nana to the hilt. Off screen she was a gem -- an incredibly intelligent woman that I would've probably hung out with if we lived in the same time period!! I love the whole cast and Frank Borzage is one of my favourite directors of all time. These schmucks today couldn't hold a candle to him! If you send me an e-mail I'll tell you what I really think of these twits :-),;-). One of my new friends at the Golden Silents website forum told me recently that he heard SEVENTH HEAVEN would be released on DVD some time soon, so I hope he's right. I have SUNRISE and love that, too. Check out that sight, tho -- it's great.
Well, I could go on forever about this movie as it's my absolute favourite of all time. Take care now and drop me a line.
Best wishes,
Gina
