5.0 out of 5 stars romance, December 19, 1999

This review is from: Romance [VHS] (VHS Tape)

leonard Maltin can really be off the wall at times and his panning of this movie is another example.In this, Garbos 2nd talkie we see her in classic form.Her 1st talkie Anna Christie seems technically crude and could use better casting. Now we jump to this film and we have classic Garbo.This is one of her underated and better films. Someone said she never played an ordinary person,here she is cast as a famous opera star.A glamorous role added to her glamour seems only right.There is a sense that now she feels at home in the talkies.Some may feel script is melodramatic but it is an intelligent one non the less.So if your a Garbo fan and havent seen this, your in for a treat.

4.0 out of 5 stars Romance, April 11, 2011

Finally this film has been released on DVD. This is the first opportunity that I have ever had to view it. In many ways, the plot is a precursor of Camille though no where near as good. Garbo is an Italian Opera singer with a "past" who falls in love with a young pastor and gives him up in the end. Her co star Gavin Gordon is no heart throb which takes away from the plot. Just what does she see in him ?? Swedish Garbo does an Italian accent in her second talkie which is intriguing. It's a must for Garbo Fans but for the general film viewer it would be of little entertainment.

A very underrated Greta Garbo classic, one of Garbo's greatest movies! Greta Garbo is one of the most captivating and mesmerizing screen legends of all time, with each movie Garbo is endlessly fascinating. Romance is a hidden gem and I highly recommend it to any Garbo fan, or any fan of classic cinema!
