Love-making scene of Greta Garbo and Ricardo Cortez in Torrent, 1926 (with music by Leopoldo Miguez)

The music I added to this beautiful scene (the picture hasn't received any sound material so far) was composed by a Brazilian musician (Leopoldo Miguez) in 1897 to a theatre play (Pelo Amor, Because of Love) written by Coelho Netto. This is the musical theme of a mysterious woman whom none of the characters are able to describe - sometimes a witch, other times a beautiful lady whose lips are responsible to make men loose their hearts and minds. I thought it would suit Garbo, specially in this scene where she devours the sweetheart of her youth - who had just gotten married with somebody else. Write me if you like the blending!

A música que adicionei à bela cena (o filme ainda não recebeu nenhum material sonoro) foi composta por um músico brasileiro (Leopoldo Miguez) em 1897 para uma peça de teatro (Por Amor!) escrita por Coelho Netto. Esse é o tema musical de uma mulher misteriosa a quem nenhum dos personagens consegue ao certo descrever algumas vezes uma bruxa, outras uma bela mulher cujos lábios são responsáveis por fazer os homens perderem seus corações e mentes. Achei que essa música caberia bem na Garbo, especialmente nesta cena na qual ela devora o namoradinho de juventude que acabara de se casar com outra. Concordam?

@tamerswan Thanks! The music belongs to a Brazilian composer called "Leopoldo Miguez". It was composed to the Brazilian play "Por amor" ("Because of love"). Actually, this recording has some problems which I wasn't able to fix in this editing.
