7/10
Greta Garbo
28 July 2022
In a time when men can do as they please and women must do as the men please, Arden Stuart (Greta Garbo) wants to break with tradition. She comes from a wealthy family. She rejects Tommy Hewlett's marriage proposal and goes off with the chauffeur. Upon their return, her brother fires the chauffeur which ends in tragedy. Next, she goes with fighter and painter Packy Cannon. He leaves her and she finally accepts Tommy's proposal.

This is a silent film with Greta Garbo. It's a tragic story of a woman's romantic life in a man's world. I do wonder how Arden was received back in the day. She has a kid. That would complicate things even in today's morality. She draws mostly within the lines in that respect. This is a winding life road for this modern woman and she is surprisingly a modern character.
