A grandiose take on the "promising life sidetracked by sexual obsession" theme that fueled so many dramas in the 20s. It's best remembered for the romance scenes where Garbo left her first big impression on audiences (and John Gilbert, apparently). It's also a memorably formative moment in Hollywood's love affair with cigarettes as a convenient sexual metaphor. Personally, though, it was the creative cinematography and gorgeous matte shots that kept my attention through a rather long 2 hours.

Forgettable romancer, if i wasn't for the camerawork and the Garbo appeal. The silhouette duel, the dolly to the crutching hand over Garbo's infidelity, among the several grand camera moments.

"My Boy, when the devil cannot reach us through the spirit... He creates a woman beautiful enough to reach us through the flesh." Garbo isn't just a femme fatale, the devil disguised as a woman.

Gilbert should have steered clear of Garbo, the two do not belong on the same screen, she was like a curse to him. Gilbert had some good stuff going for him, even in this movie, but then Garbo comes on screen and saps every thing up.
