Flesh and the Devil
This visually elegant film is probably the classic Garbo silent and reflects the artistic and technical heights achieved by the Hollywood silent cinema in the late 1920s. Garbo plays a countess whose love turns a lifelong friendship (between John Gilbert and Lars Hanson) into a bitter rivalry.
