Seventh Heaven / L'Heure Suprême (1927)

Cast Janet Gaynor, Charles Farrell, David Butler

In Paris, in the early years of the twentieth century, lives Chico, a sewer worker with lofty aspirations. One night, Chico saves a young prostitute named Diane from the murderous rage of her tyrannical sister. Despite her lifestyle, Diane is honest and innocent, and when the police arrive to arrest her, Chico spontaneously claims that she is his wife. Forced to maintain this facade or else both face prison sentences, Chico reluctantly allows Diane to live with him – and in the process, love gradually blossoms between them. However, the dark spectre of World War I has begun to descend upon France, and Chico and Diane cannot help but fall under its shadow.

Diane est orpheline, elle vit avec Nana sa soeur aînée tyrannique et alcoolique. Mais Diane va rencontrer le bonheur dans les bras de Chico Robas, un égoutier. Hélas, la déclaration de la première guerre mondiale va gâcher leur amour naissant.
