Greta Garbo's last MGM silent is possibly her best, owing to the artistry of French director Jacques Feyder, who made several films in Hollywood in the late Twenties before returning to France where he was a major figure in the poetic realism of the Thirties. In The Kiss, Garbo plays the wife of a wealthy man whom she does not love, the lover of a man whom she cannot have, and the idol of a youth whose impetuous, passionate embrace leads to murder. The story, which unfolds in the form of a flashback confession, holds its suspense as well as its pathos beautifully: "Once again (Garbo) plays one of those mysterious women whose heart no man quite knows, neither her husband nor her lover.... Lew Ayres plays the infatuated youth so well that one is almost embarrassed at watching his display of adolescent passion." --Motion Picture.
