What it’s about. Starring Paul Robeson (one of the first black movie actor/singers to achieve mainstream popularity) in a rare silent role, this experimental drama was thought lost until the 1990s when it was rediscovered by the British Film Institute. The Switzerland-set melodrama takes place in a resort and chronicles the reaction of patrons when an interracial couple shows up for a stay. Some critics claim that careful, sensitive viewers may be able to pick out gay subtext running throughout the story.

Who’s in it. Borderline stars Paul Robeson as Pete Varond.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.6/10, Borderline has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
