In 1910s Paris, Chico (Charles Farrell) works in the sewers and dreams of a better life. Diane (Janet Gaynor) falls head over heels for Chico after he saves her from being murdered by her tyrannical older sister. When the police arrive to arrest Diane for prostitution, Chico claims that she's his wife to keep her out of jail. The pair finds happiness in their own "7th heaven," until the outbreak of World War I tests the limits of their transcendent love. 7th HEAVEN paired Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell in the first of a dozen films they made together from 1927 to 1943, three with director Frank Borzage. Borzage, Farrell, and Gaynor (who edged out Mary Pickford and Joan Crawford for the role) were all nominated for Academy Awards. 7th HEAVEN was an exuberant commercial success upon its initial release and is still widely regarded as one of the most beautiful silent films of all time.
With live accompaniment by THE POOR NOBODYS!
