The River

Original german concept art, artist Boris Streimann (1908-1984). Pastel, gouache and pencil on light cardboard. Widely considered Frank Borzage's finest directorial work, it is also frequently named 'the most erotic film of the silent era'. It has been heavily censored around the world. The film was never released in Germany and the absence of a censor stamp clearly indicates that the german censors outright refused a release. With Joan Crawford, James Murray, House Peters, directed by Lucien Hubbard.
