"A rather saccharine and dated Broadway play was transformed by Borzage into an uplifting drama of the power of love over adversity. Borzage, one of the screen's great romanticists, created a Paris on film which is both an atmospheric city of the imagination and the evocation of a physical place. The naturalistic acting of Gaynor and Farrell adds credibility to the romantic fantasy. Seventh Heaven is one of a number of 'silent' films which were released in the late twenties with an orchestral soundtrack and some sound effects."@en
