Good handling of minor parts by George Fawcett, Brandon Hurst, Emily Fitzroy and Philippe de Lacy, intelligent photography, brilliant direction are enough for any picture that includes such a performance as that supplied by Actress Garbo.

Love as moving picture fare, is of more than usual merit. It is splendidly produced, the action is fast, and the leading roles are enacted by experienced artists or the screen. But It is not Anna Karenina.

If taken simply as a sentimental drama, Love is a film of rather more than ordinary merit.

LIFE

When, at the conclusion of Love, Miss Garbo casts herself before a moving train, one gathers that it is the natural action of an intelligent person who has been compelled to work through -- let alone sit through -- a picture like Love.

John Gilbert and Greta Garbo contribute performances that in every way are worthy of their previous co-starring success, Flesh and Devil.

Obsolete with the Garbo sound version around.

The movie is based on Anna Karenina. It was made to take advantage of Gilbert-Garbo eroticism that could not be matched. It was originally titled Heat.
