Flesh and the Devil (1927)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: bw 109m silent
Director: Clarence Brown
Cast: Greta Garbo, John Gilbert, Lars Hanson

Synopsis:

A femme fatale uses one half of a pair of lifelong friends to rid herself of her husband in a duel, then marries the other while the duellist is serving out his banishment in the colonies.

Review:

A role Garbo did not play often, but in the twenties just about every female star was expected to vamp at some point. It's all set among Prussian military types - where else can you get a good duel when you need one? - and Gilbert and Garbo's offscreen affair added value to the enterprise for MGM's publicity department.
