"Another exotic setting--China, cholera epidemics, heat, hospitals--and another study in divided loyalties as Garbo veers between her doctor husband (Herbert Marshall) and a visiting diplomatic attaché (George Brent). A portrait in white, it is a compendium of all the Garbo moods--soulful, poetic, passionate, forgiving--with a nice atmospheric sense in the staging, aided by Gibbons' art direction, Adrian's costumes and Garbo's skill in communicating emotion with a slight flicker of eyes and body."
