"Think of three men... an obsessed Jewish businessman (William Fox), a visionary German artist (F.W. Murnau), and an idealistic American Catholic (Frank Borzage). For a few short years their fates were intertwined and together these three men, the mogul, the artist, and the romantic would change the face of cinema." Includes commentary by film critics and historians with extensive archival film footage.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

4 Devils and The River submitted by Barbara S. Anderson on August 21, 2014, 1:37pm On the flip side of City Girl, there are 3 special features about 4 Devils: Janet Bergstrom's narrated "talk-through" of the film, using the script and stills; an uncredited, written treatment; and the 12/3/27 screenplay credited to Marion Orth.

The reconstruction of The River, on the flip side of 7th Heaven, lasts just over 55 minutes and is worth watching. Mary Duncan and Charles Farrell star.
