"Borzage is comparable to Sirk, Ophuls and Minnelli in the way he redefined the meaning of melodrama. Borzage's Italian-Catholic sensibility was expressed in a now unfashionable romanticism. Mannequin is more whimsical than Borzage's best films and hence more easily dismissed as glossy romanticism. It centres on the relationship between a woman of lower class origin and a self-made industrialist. The film is typical of Borzage in the presentation of external events and circumstances - the Depression and poverty - as essentially timeless. To Borzage the facts of economic hardship or political repression only serve to anchor character in time and place and emphasies conflict."@en . . . .
