The Nth Commandment
A department store clerk decides to marry a withdrawing colleague with tuberculosis, over another dashing, ambitious suitor, leads to a life of hardship and struggle. Though The Nth Commandment survives incomplete, enough exists of director Frank Borzage’s last film while under contract with William Randolph Hearst’s Cosmopolitan Pictures for scholar Hervé Dumont to declare “it the first truly Borzagian work.”

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Frank Borzage constructs a drama not of grand gestures, but of quiet, palpable decline and stoic endurance. The film explores the unromantic, grinding daily reality of sacrifice, where love is measured by a thermometer and bitter medicine.
What lingers after viewing is a poignant, unsentimental journey into the heart of duty, where happiness is but a fleeting shadow on a sickroom wall. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Frank Borzage
