Mata Hari 1931 clip with Greta Garbo and Ramon Novarro

[muppetgirl03]

That is one wicked woman, to make him blow out that candle, something so sacred to him just to prove his love for her.

[ATsarIsBorn]

This IS the best scene in the movie, almost the only reason to see it ... though they're great in the final sequence, too.

[TheCapa1234]

the moment is symbolic . if he ll put the light out he will do anything for her including passing secrets.

[carey579]

a gay and a lesbian(supposedly) hollywood is so fabolous

[rayito2005]

Ese hombre (Ramon)se ve muy delicado, es un bocado.

[tickledpink2U]

They look so beautiful together.

[LadyNeferankh]

Dangerous words...

Gorgeous scene, not just visually but in words, style everything.

[globalman]

An exquisite but cruel scene. The power a woman has over a man. The quality and texture of this scene....film cannot be equalled by any film of the last 50 years. Ramon is wonderful. He was and is little recognised for his tremendous talent . To me he remains the most superior Ben Hur of all time. Garbo's costumes in this were extraordinary. Costume designers were little recognised or lauded back then although there NEVER came after, anyone to compare with those of the 1920's-30's. Thank you.

[BOBGIL100]

....beautiful...I love her voice...great actress and a diva...garbo forever...

[duesenbergmj]

I am amazed at how Novarro and Garbo make this scene so real, touching, tragic.

[sprmodelmelove]

he's mexican

[vnisanianisback]

I love how she only has one earring on in this clip.

[tomitstube]

great scene and acting for 1931. a box office smash that put mata hari on the map.

[Kasbahkabaret]

La Seductora/Mujer Aranja.

[koln1996]

Garbo was far taller than Navarro!!!

[thor389]

i don`t get all the hoopla about her. She sounds like a homo and looks like one too.

[Kasbahkabaret]

@thor389 It is a great drag costume!

[nana78748]

@thor389 Well then maybe you are a Homo.

[buzzclick500]

No words. Got no words.... ;])

[MsHAHAgaga]

she is a basage for making him blow out the flames.

[brianallancobb]

They don't make 'em like that anymore.

[iwantelz]

Ummm. Yes the script and acting is great...but why did she make him blow out the candle? that isnt very nice.

[Roses0fPicardy]

@iwantelz

She had to darken the room as a signal to her spy cohort waiting in the street. After a few minutes (while they are occupied in bedroom), the cohort would sneek into Alex's apartment and take the secret papers on his desk. Mata later realizes that she loves Alex and wants to resign from the spy business.

[iwantelz]

@Roses0fPicardy ohhhh. alright. that makes sense :D thanks for clearing that up!

[sensobrando]

La Garbo tenía voz de travesti y parecía que se había llamado Manolo un par de años antes.

[Roses0fPicardy]

I just read "Beyond Paradise" (Suares' bio of Novarro). Ramon loved working with Garbo and she with him. It shows in this clip and the entire film. Ramon was so sweet in an earlier scene (can't find it on YT) when he embraces her by the waist and emplores "But you are so beautiful!". They both were. Thanks for posting this clip to YT.

[MsBatista85]

THERE ARE NO WORD THAT CAN ACCURATELY DESCRIBE THAT CLIP IT WAS SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT.

[LoveAj03]

Goodness, I love him.

[corker99]

Dear Miss Garbo....the magic spell that you cast on the world back then still has many of us in it`s beautiful grip....love you to pieces

[petezeek]

Anyone notice what Greta does with her left hand? LOL. What a great actress, notice the look in her face when he blows out the candle. wow.

[petezeek]

Anyone notice what Greta does with her left hand. LOL. She was so amazing, watch the look in her face when he blows out the candle. wow!

[DiabolicalAngel]

@petezeek What does she do? LOL.

[Sissiaraujo]

Superb...

[ToughXArmy69]

A Great Star!

[kinglear]

Both actors are fantastic. Their acting is subtle and completely believable. It was as if they weren't acting. I love the way this scene shows sex and religion as opposing forces. That look Ramon gave when he said "Forgive me" is to die for.

[eleanorayoulateagain]

A great scene with the divine Miss Greta Garbo.

Awesome!

[carolineamber]

Beautiful, magic people

[Misterioso]

Hollywood = mediocrity. The real films of the 30's were shot in Europe.

[DiabolicalAngel]

@Misterioso Thats debatable. Hollywood put out some masterpieces in its early days too.

[Misterioso]

@DiabolicalAngel Universal Monster films & RKO fantasy pictures don't count. Also Chaplin's "City Lights" much like his career is overrated.

[jeseden]

interesante, oh greta que malvada jaja, la muejer que nunca rie? le vi varias sonrisas, saludos. .

[xABitTooGorgeousx]

i adore

the sultry in this clip

Garby's face is divine.

Ramon so cute yet manly

[worldwind06]

Thanks for ur luvly comment :)

[xABitTooGorgeousx]

:) No problem honey!

[xABitTooGorgeousx]

Thank YOU for the clip

[Mandinko23]

men are such bastard this poor girl spend her whole life pleasing them and yet they turn their backs on her, and betrayed her, and murder her, accusing her of such rubbish as espionage.

[denisprowl]

I'm surprised she didn't flee to Malaysia where she belong, but thinking about the War and all that's probably why. Overall, when I first saw her pics I thought she was Malaysian her beauty was very exotic..

[Mandinko23]

dang she is bad, she is a true scorpion girl, you have to sacrifice something for us if you want our love.

[LibbyMaeBrown]

I'm a Scorpio too - it's true!!

[EffLabels]

@LibbyMaeBrown Wasnt Garbo a Virgo?

[SashSegal]

@Mandinko23

She was born on 7 August 1876, so that makes her a Leo

[Isis7630]

@SashSegal ok she was a leo, now I understand why she did dance so bad

[DiabolicalAngel]

@Isis7630 LOL!!! That was a hilarious comment.

[EffLabels]

@SashSegal Garbo was born the 18th of Sept. A Virgo

[WildCardsJazz]

Oh Gretta!!!! My dad was 12 when he saw you. You are the loveliest creature except for that other Mata Hari....

[Rouben19]

SPEAKING OF GARBO AND madonna, the material girl tried very hard to be introduced to GARBO - GUESS WHAT - GARBO FLIPPED HER OFF TOO!

[xABitTooGorgeousx]

what? madonna wanted to meet Greta??

[DiabolicalAngel]

@Rouben19 hahah are u serious? I read greta insisted on meeting michael jackson and they did privately. Marlene also flipped off Madonna lol. Poor Madonna.

[headlessmaiden]
