Greta Garbo, Nils Asther and Lewis Stone in "Wild Orchids"(1929)by Franklin.
Mrs Sterling (Garbo) comes with her husband (Stone), on a business trip to Java. On the ship, she witnesses Javanese Prince De Gace (Asther) mercilessly whipping a servant...(IMBd)
@lovenilsasther - It is sad to realize even Claudette Coburn was not precisely ideally kind to directors and had a bad attitude towards to others. Especially when she was
a star and from what they said about her in "It Happened One Night." She couldn't wait for the picture to be over to go on vacation. Plus it was said she asked a lot from'
the producer the money she wanted and got it because she was a Star back then.

@1lricardo - i too feel the same for Nils.. what a hunk and so exotic looking..
I loved him in the "Bitter Tea of General Yen.

Oh, Nils, darling--- I'd be willing to sacrifice (in NO particular order): That Bieber kid, that botch-of-nature- Lady GaGa, ALL the Kardashians, and every single "ORIGINAL" show on TVLand-- if I could have you back for JUST ONE DAY! YOU WERE PERFECTION-- the face, the way you moved, the mannerisms, the silky, slightly accented voice--- whew!

how interesting. You are right about that performance.. he was incredibly good.and so beautiful. I don't think Garbo went around helping people somehow.. lol... she did have a reputation for being..well lets just say..self reliant. . Nils was an extraodinary screen presence..,

@tyjeffries I believe their friendship must have been overrated since she had lots of pull and obviously didn't use it to help keep him in Hollywood to become the major star he was destined to be after his monumental portrayal of General Yen.
