Movie Reviews

Antagony & Ecstasy - 10/10 by Tim BraytonOne of the silliest and therefore most magnetic of all '30s romantic melodramas.
Slant Magazine - 10/10 by Dan CallahanHistory Is Made at Night is a patchwork quilt genre bender that stands as one of Frank Borzage's supreme achievements.
Stream on Demand - 10/10 by Sean Axmaker[Frank] Borzage's commitment to the couple and belief in the power of love to not simply conquer all but to elevate the lovers to a heaven on Earth transcends the plot. E
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzA type of unbelievable melodrama that went out of fashion ages ago.
User Review - 10/10 by Eric HFrank Borzage was Hollywood's great romantic and History is Made at Midnight is one of his very best films. The luminous chemistry between Charles Boyer and the incomparable Jean Arthur (in one of her very best roles) lights up the screen. Borzage's direction is always delicate, elegant and brings the film a mystical quality from luminous nighttime Paris to the fog swept decks of the SS Princess Irene. The plot is excellent and takes a truly unexpected turn in the final third but it's the character moments like Boyer and Arthur's first night in Paris or their reunion in New York that entrance and linger the most. This was Frankenstein's actor Colin Clive's penultimate film before his untimely death to alcoholism at the mere age of thirty-seven. Made only seven years after his screams of "It's alive!" sent shivers down the halls of cinema history, his role here is far cry from that energetic performance and he is perfect as the lonely, desperate and bitter husband of Jean Arthur as sad as that seems. A true masterpiece that has been criminally neglected and forgotten by the populous and by critics who really should know better.
User Review - 8/10 by Benjamin WA cute romantic comedy rife with coincidence. However, the ending is much darker than I would have anticipated when I started watching . . .
User Review - 8/10 by Eric REXCELLENT ROMANTIC DRAMA WITH A SUPERB PERFORMANCE BY JEAN ARTHUR. CHARLES BOYER IS FINE AS WELL. WELL WRITTEN AND DIRECTED. VERY INTERESTING STORY, ALWAYS INTERESTING.
User Review - 8/10 by Kevin M. WCharles Boyer and Jean Arthur share some nice chemistry in the standard love story that is not standard at all. Arthur is married unhappily to Colin Clive (yep, he of Frankenstein fame) and the reason for her unhappiness is as grownup as any I've seen in any movie ever. The film flickers meanwhile from screwball comedy to melodrama to disaster flick in the blink of an eye and, rather than distract, the method keeps one involved. Keep an eye out for this one, as is a classic.
User Review - 6/10 by Indira Skinda romantic comedy kinda romantic tragedy
