Ok movie..I give it 4 stars for Garbo's allure
|
Of all of Garbo's movies I've seen to date, this film may be the one with the "weakest" plot, but her presence & allure are worth the watch. For example, although "Anna Christie" (another early '30s) was a more "static" early talkie, nevertheless, I think "Anna..." is a better film (especially the german version).
Notwithstanding, she makes a good couple with a young Robert Montgomery-you believe they're in love- and she gets to wear some very beautiful Adrian designed outfits as Yvonne "The Toast of Paris". Good acting by Lewis Stone, Karen Morley and Marjorie Rambeau.
If you are a Garbo fan you have to give it a try, but if aren't and you want to watch her at her very best, watch "Camille", "Queen Christina", "Grand Hotel", "Anna Karenina", "Ninotchka"... even "Mata Hari", an early thirties' in which the romantic plot works as well as in "Inspiration" (Ramon Novarro makes good match with her too), but the background story that "surrounds" it and the plot in all, is much more intriguing & entertaining.
I have to agree with the other reviewer in that the transfer is so-so, especially if you compare this 1931 flick with that same year's "Mata Hari".
But, for Romance alone, this film is good. |
