Features

"When the devil cannot reach us through the spirit...he creates a woman beautiful enough to reach us through the flesh."
"... a superb, over-the-top melodrama. Garbo is a simply glorious vamp, a radiant beauty who enjoys and manipulates the passionate love of two best friends (in every sense) ... The relationship between the two guys -- John Gilbert and Lars Hanson -- is as homoerotically suggestive as any on film before the 1970s -- and you can see from the emotions flooding Garbo's face that she feels the competition!" IMDb
During the filming, stars Greta Garbo and John Gilbert began a tempestuous affair that is now part of infamous Hollywood lore.
Beautifully enhanced import from Korea made for dvd players in the USA/Canada/Korea (NTSC, All-Region).
