No one knew who she was yet no one could resist her beauty.
Garbo is just a perfect example of classic beauty. She is also an example of perfection on the screen. Every move, every glance and every close up is exquisite and she performs them in a timeless fashion. Garbo plays Tania, a Russian spy who falls in love with a soldier but is told by her lover to extract information from him by making him fall in love with her. The whole story is agonisingly powerful and I really do not believe that anyone other than Garbo could have put so much heart and soul into the performance. The expression and pain on her face is evident to see and she totally embodies the part. For anyone who wants to see Garbo silent this is the perfect place to start, although I saw 'Grand Hotel' first and therefore heard her voice before I could discover her talent!
