This isn't the best silent movie Garbo made, but it was the last and final silent film for MGM. Garbo plays the sympathetic no longer in love wife and caught feeling for a doting younger man. A story of tortured romance with mystery thrown in towards the end but the main attractions are the romance and cinematography.

Garbo is so great that she seems to be living while everyone else is merely performing.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I think the story is a good representation of the modern society, a unhappy wife with a jealous husband, a lover, a boy and the kiss that starts trouble. Interesting story!!!
