Trailer - "Camille" (Greta Garbo, 1936)

Yes this is one o her greatest performances, rank next to Queen Christina 1933 & Anna Karenina 1935. Garbo shld hav won the oscar for this pic & she's the hot fav to win, having won her 2nd New York Film Critics Award Best Actress, alas, the Academy voters at that time tink she's too arrogant & snobbish & decided to award Luise Rainer (again!) instead.

her best picture...beautiful!

I love this movie one of my favorites!!

Isn't this interesting:

In my opinion her voice sounds a little bit like Ingrid Bergman's in this clip! I think that's swedish accent? I love Ingrid's voice.

GRETA GARBO
SUCH A SEXY WOMAN, SO TALENTED, SO ALURING, SHE PULLS YOU IN, & YOU DON'T REALIZE IT, OR DON'T CARE, WHAT A FABULOUS GIRL, I AM A GREAT ADMIRER, thankyou for posting this, thankyou!!!

There is no comparison with Greta Garbo and actresses today. She was an artist; not just an actress. This is especially true in her superb performance here from beginning to end. This entire picture is an artistic statement in every way. My favorite part is the scene with Lionel Barrymore where she says 'I will make my love hate me'. Isn't this story based on some classical theme from opera? Thanks for posting.

Well said, and you're very welcome.

The film is based on a novel "The Lady of the Camellias" A.K.A. "Camille" in English (French: "La Dame aux camélias"). It was written by Alexandre Dumas, fils (son of the Alexandre Dumas who wrote "The Count of Monte Cristo" etc.). The novel was first published in 1848, and was later adapted for the stage. It was also made into an opera called "La Traviata". The character Marguerite Gautier is based on Marie Duplessis, the real life lover of the author.

this movie is (for me) the best of greta garbo...although i prefer te book...

Its the most poetic and perfect performance. But as I watch the phoniness of the trailer itself I marvel that she was able to project such realism in her roles, it was such an artificial time. Artists like her were fighting an uphill battle.
