Su madre era de origen suizo-alemán y su padre era italiano. Frank inició sus estudios primarios pero los abandonaría pronto, y con tan sólo 12 años comenzó a trabajar en la mina de Silver King. A partir de ese momento Frank trabajará en distintos gremios hasta que en 1907 consigue un papel en la obra El prisionero de Zenda en uno de los principales teatros de Phoenix, Arizona. Borzage fue consolidando su carrera como actor de teatro hasta que se cruzó en su trayectoria Thomas H. Ince, actor, guionista, productor y director de cine estadounidense, quien le ofreció la oportunidad de trabajar en algunas de sus obras como actor. Así, Borzage recaló en el mundo del cine, y aunque éste daba sus primeros pasos y estaba mal considerado por ciertas facciones sociales, Frank decidió probar suerte bajo un seudónimo. Durante los primeros años del siglo XX, Borzage dirigió sus propias películas hasta convertirse en uno de los directores del género del oeste mejor considerados del cine mudo. En plena década de los años veinte realizó dos largometrajes que lo catapultarían al éxito, El séptimo cielo (1927), con la que obtuvo el Oscar al mejor director, y El ángel de la calle (1928). A estas dos obra habría que añadir la película Lucky Star (1929), en los tres filmes la pareja protagonista está compuesta por Charles Farrel y Janet Gaynor, y la trama gira en torno a aquellos sentimientos que son más profundos que la que la guerra o la propia muerte. De este modo, Borzage en la década de los años treinta se ha consagrado como uno de los directores de cine más importantes de Hollywood. Sus películas son reflejo de las circunstancias adversas que le rodean e incluso tragedias acaecidas pero desde una perspectiva distinta; estas situaciones son motor de su inspiración e impulsan nuevas formas de transmitir que el amor más profundo es capaza de superar el peor de los obstaculos. Así ocurre por ejemplo en Adiós a las armas (1932) film en la que pareja protagonista es capaz de superar los avatares de la Primera Guerra Mundial, o en Man's Castle consiguen superar la miseria de la Gran Depresión. Esta década estuvo marcada por la trilogía formada por por ¿Y ahora qué? (1934), Three Comrades (1938) y The Mortal Storm (1939). En los que la política juega un papel fundamental y entra de lleno en la sociedad con todo lo que ello implica. Hace un llamamiento a la solidadridad, relegando a un segundo plano el amor universal. Consigue plasmar el alcance del ascenso de los regímenes políticos al poder, como el totalitarismo de Hitler. Consigue así, que sus películas tengan un papel histórico. La década de los cuarenta marcó un punto de inflexión en la trayectoria de Borzage, el desfase exitente entre la labor cinematográfica de Borzage y el cine contemporáneo aleja al director del éxito de épocas anteriores. Su difícil situación personal lo apartó de los grandes estudios, y fracaso económico que supuso la película The Spanish Main (1945) lo relegaron a un segundo plano en el panorama cinemaatográfico. Durante los siguientes años realizó obras como I've Always Loved You (1946) o Moonrise (1948). Todo esto provocó que Borzage desapareciera del panorama durante un tiempo; a su regreso realizó dos películas China Doll (1958) y The Big Fisherman (1959) en las que rememora tiempos pasados. Frank no supo acomodarse a los nuevos tiempos lo que supuso el final de una larga e intensa carrera cinematográfica. Frank Borzage falleció en 1962 en Hollywood, sus restos descansan en el Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cementery de Glendale, California.

  • Bones of the River
    Bones of the River By Edgar Wallace Bones Of The River I. — THE FEARFUL WORD “LOOK after the chickens,” said Hamilton sardonically, “put the cat out, and don’t forget to wind up the clock,” Lieutenant Tibbetts inclined his head with, as he believed, a certain quiet dignity. “And take something for that stiff neck of yours,” added Hamilton. Mr. Commissioner Sanders came back from the deck of the Zaire to the little concrete quay that jutted out from the residency grounds. He was leaving on a short tour of inspection, and with him went Captain Hamilton and half a company of Houssas. Mr. Tibbetts, whose more familiar name was Bones, was staying behind in charge, and would be for seven days Deputy Commissioner, Deputy Commander of the troops, Deputy Paymaster-General, and Chief of Staff. He was also temporarily in control of twenty-five Orpington hens, three cockerels and a new fowl-house, the property of his superior officer. The cat and the clock were figments of Captain Hamilton’s imagination. “And by the way”—Hamilton, one foot on the deck of the little steamer and one on the quay, turned—“cut out the fairy tales, Bones.” Mr. Tibbetts raised his eyebrows patiently and looked resigned. “If you have to entertain callers, tell ’em something useful such as: A squared plus B squared equals C squared—a little algebra would improve the moral status of the wandering Isisi.” Once before, whilst Bones had been in charge of the station, there had come a canoe from the Isisi country, carrying a small chief with a grievance to lay before the Commissioner.
