Until They Get Me

A brawny Northwoodsman is pursued by a Northwest Mountie after he kills a man in self-defence. Borzage merges the Western with the melodrama, displaying an unconventional attention to his female characters, strong character development & moral conflict. In Borzage's world, women are in charge & the radiant & sexy Pauline Stark, who dominates this film, emerges as the first stirring representation of his "ideal female": feisty, small-framed, & endlessly tender.
