Feat. Greta Garbo, John Gilbert

Aroview: Three MGM classics that well represent the great Greta Garbo as the ultimate silent movie icon:

Flesh and the Devil (1927, 112m.)
A gorgeous high melodrama in which Garbo's character threatens the lifelong friendship between the dashingly romantic John Gilbert and the wealthy Lars Hanson that culminates in a gallant duel and (literally) thin ice.

The Temptress (1926, 106m.)
Garbo stars as a man-killer who follows Antonio Moreno to the romantic plains of Argentina after falling madly in love during a Gatsby-esque party...

The Mysterious Lady (1928, 89m.)
A tight lady-spy number that emphasizes Garbo's sultry, remote appeal.
