saw a Borzage Universal film Little Man, What Now? (title of novel/film later pinched by Morrissey), a 1934 marital romance of poor folk in Weimar Germany. Goddamn, Margaret Sullavan was great in everyuthing, huh?

also the lead actor in LMWN, Douglass Montgomery, is sorta pretty and awkward, but given that his character is rather "emo" it works well.

solid print on YouTube btw, and most Borzage too -- even Three Comrades, which I used to own on VHS.

Working my way through the Murnau, Borzage and Fox set. (Daedalus Books has it for $50.) A verrry bad idea, given my current emotional fragility and longing.

TCM aired The Mortal Storm on Friday: one of the few American studio films to call out Nazis for being anti-Semitic and illiterate. Stewart and Sullavan don't have much to do beside serve the mechanics of the plot, but the plot has enough pathos.

Havent’t seen that one in ages, but remember it being similar to what you describe.
