In this silent film, a femme fatale comes between childhood friends.

Dir: Clarence Brown Cast:  John Gilbert , Greta Garbo , Lars Hanson .
113 min, TV-PG
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Clarence Brown. John Gilbert, Greta Garbo, Lars Hanson, Barbara Kent, William Orlamond, George Fawcett, Eugenie Besserer. Garbo at her most seductive as temptress who comes between old friends Gilbert and Hanson. Pulsatingly romantic, beautifully filmed, probably the best Garbo-Gilbert love match. But talk about surprise endings!

Love (1927)

In this updated, silent adaptation of Anna Karenina, a married woman sacrifices everything for the love of a military officer.

Dir: Edmund Goulding Cast:  Greta Garbo , John Gilbert , George Fawcett .
83 min, TV-G
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Edmund Goulding. Greta Garbo, John Gilbert, George Fawcett, Emily Fitzroy, Brandon Hurst, Philippe De Lacy. Silent version of Anna Karenina in modern setting, as married Garbo falls in love with dashing military guard Gilbert, an affair doomed from start. Lesser entry for famed screen lovers, with Gilbert's eyebrow-raising gestures at their worst. Garbo's 1935 remake (ANNA KARENINA) is much better. MGM actually filmed two endings--one happy, one sad.

CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Clarence Brown. Greta Garbo, John Gilbert, Lewis Stone, John Mack Brown, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Hobart Bosworth, Dorothy Sebastian. Smooth, entertaining late-silent with Garbo as reckless socialite who undertakes serious burden of making good her late husband's thefts. Fine cast; story is diluted from Michael Arlen's The Green Hat.

CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Robert Z. Leonard. Greta Garbo, Clark Gable, Jean Hersholt, John Miljan, Alan Hale. A young woman flees from her loutish father--who wants to marry her off--and finds refuge with Gable, but circumstances keep them apart until the final clinch. Contrived melodrama made compelling by the ever-mesmerizing Garbo.

CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Rouben Mamoulian. Greta Garbo, John Gilbert, Ian Keith, Lewis Stone, C. Aubrey Smith, Gustav von Seyffertitz, Reginald Owen. Probably Garbo's best film, with a haunting performance by the radiant star as 17th-century Swedish queen who relinquishes her throne for her lover, Gilbert. Garbo and Gilbert's love scenes together are truly memorable, as is the famous final shot. Don't miss this one.

90 min, TV-G , CC
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: George Cukor. Greta Garbo, Melvyn Douglas, Constance Bennett, Roland Young, Robert Sterling, Ruth Gordon, Frances Carson. Garbo's last film, in which MGM tried unsuccessfully to Americanize her personality. Attempted chic comedy of errors is OK, but not what viewer expects from the divine Garbo. Constance Bennett is much more at home in proceedings, stealing the film with her hilarious performance.

D: Gregory La Cava. Constance Bennett, Joel McCrea, Pert Kelton, John Halliday, Samuel Hinds, Franklin Pangborn. Smart pre-Code comedy-drama with Bennett and Kelton released from reform school and on the make for plenty of "umpchays with ashcay," that is, until Bennett falls for riverboat skipper McCrea. Kelton is hilarious as a slinky, no-holds-barred "bad girl" with an acid tongue.
