| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzGarbo acquits herself well as the tortured lover. |
| User ReviewKatie ROne of Garbo's best. Sort of a pre-cursor to Mata Hari, but a much, MUCH better movie. Garbo and Nagel were one of the best couples in silent film. They had tremendous chemistry. |
| User Reviewroger tThis movie seemed like the average romance plot where they're in love and they're spies during wartime so it's tragic. But it's not totally like that, it gets much better. They're high ranked and trusted by their respective countries, and there's another guy who loves Garbo's character. It's a very exciting romance movie, and I enjoyed it. |
| User ReviewJoel AA visually sumptuous film that is brought alive by screen icon Greta Garbo. The story of Russian Spy (Garbo) seducing an man of influence in the Austrian Army for strategic plans...the flip side is she falls in love with him. Despite the obvious cliche nature of the plot it's the beaming presence that Garbo has on screen the is truly electrifying. The film has terrific craft & clearly made with such finesse, the look of the film was impeccable. A must see for Garbo fans & in general is a very entertaining romance melodrama. |
