B-
A second-tier Garbo potboiler is still worth watching, even if the plot is preposterous, plus it's the only film the Divine made with the then rising star, Clark Gable. Go to Full Review

Tamara K 09/18/2023 While this is not the best film in the world seeing Garbo and Gable together delights me to no end. I also adore anything with Gable in it not sporting his stupid moustache. See more Steve D 06/10/2023 It doesn't work today and it is still hard not to enjoy it anyway. See more 09/15/2014 Garbo and Gable's personalities are like oil and water but they look good together and the film is entertaining of its type. See more 11/22/2013 Despite a promisingly gritty start, this soon descends into the kind of soapy melodrama that MGM liked to waste Garbo's talents in. She is still utterly compelling, of course, and her co-star was an up-and-coming Clark Gable (they reportedly didn't get along, and never worked together again.) To be watched for historical value only. See more 01/06/2013 Susan/Helga is the most annoying milquetoast character ever committed to film. Garbo is totally miscast playing such a knock-kneed rube who decides to become a hooker just because one man says she belongs in the gutter - yeah!! that'll show him, dumbass!. Moustacheless Clark Gable is pretty sexy and virile though - too bad he's written as such a douche of epic proportions. See more 09/18/2012 good pre-code talkie See more Read all reviews
