Time has not been good to Greta Garbo's most acclaimed performance.She's quite good as the courtesan of 1840's Paris,but I found her acting a bit melodramatic. Robert Taylor has the looks and youth to make his character believable.I enjoyed the performances of scene-stealers Laura Hope Crews and Henry Daniell tremendously. The production is beautiful and I enjoyed this romantic film a lot. It is very melodramatic, almost to the point of becoming laughable,but director George Cukor manages to keep the balance. For those of you who like dreamy romances the movie is recommended.I'm glad it is finally released on DVD.
