The last of three back-to-back Ramon Novarro musicals, Call of the Flesh (aka The Singer of Seville) casts the star as aspiring opera singer Juan. Juan is advised by his mentor Esteban (Ernest Torrence) that he will never truly be a great singer until his heart is broken. This comes about when our hero falls in love with nun-in-training Maria (Dorothy Jordan), genteelly abducting her from the convent with romance in mind. (allmovie.com)

This Ramon Novarro/Dorothy Jordan collaboration takes itself a little too serious to capture something special. For the most part a good tragedy, but he biggest tragedy was that Renée Adorée suffered from tuberculosis during filming and only got worse during production. This resulted in Call of the Flesh (1930) being the final film she did before eventually passing away on 5 October 1933 never recovering from the illness.
