Argumento
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.

[quote]This basic cowboy melodrama romance dates from a period when the skills of it's director and his associates were still undeveloped.Unlike some films from this period its attraction will be only to the historically curious who will find it an interesting enough viewing.

[quote]Glowing with moody natural light, the western Until They Get Me, one of Frank Borzage's earliest films, is quite uninterested in action and horseplay. Borzage expertly sets up a story about a fugitive (Jack Curtis) pursued by a mounted policeman (Joe King), and he achieves some real poignancy in a scene where Curtis realizes his wife is dead, using repeated, low-angle close-ups to catch a feeling of despair. But Borzage soon abandons plot and becomes devoted to showcasing his leading lady, 16-year-old Pauline Starke, who had just played a concubine in D.W. Griffith's Intolerance. Starke's beauty is strikingly modern and she dominates the film with her radiant sexiness. Everyone in the movie is as enraptured with Starke as Borzage's camera; there's a furtive erotic jolt in the moment when Curtis yanks off Starke's tomboy hat and her hair comes tumbling down. Borzage's heart is truly captured in Starke's glowingly sympathetic close-up when Curtis's plight is revealed to her—in this filmmaker's world, women are in charge, and Starke is his first stirring tribute to his ideal female: feisty, small-framed, and endlessly tender

Bueno, la calidad es pobre, pero se sigue bien.
La copia me la ha pasado click ford -
- y la he ripeado como siempre lo mejor que he podido y sabido. Se trata de una rareza, uno de los primeros Borzages. Con mucho brío, e intenso. Me ha gustado mucho.Los intertítulos son en inglés, y tiene banda de sonido con música de acompañamiento.
