Silent Saturday: Flesh and the Devil


1926 romantic drama

Rating: 15/20

Plot: Childhood pals fight over Greta Garbo.

The story's a bit pedestrian, but Greta Garbo just oozes sexuality and there's a fun, chilly ending. That Garbo could act, and she didn't need a voice. It's a good-looking movie, too. A climactic scene done in silhouette is stunning, and there's a great scene lit seemingly by a match in cupped hands that I liked a lot.

That's all I got. I had forgotten that I watched this movie a couple of Saturdays ago.
