Here, Garbo stars as Marguerite Gauthier, who is born into humble circumstances but in time becomes Dame aux Camille, one of the most glamorous courtesans in Paris. Camille is kept by the wealthy and powerful Baron de Varville (Henry Daniell), but after many years of earning a good living from her beauty without finding true love, Camille&#039;s heart is stolen by Armand (Robert Taylor), a handsome but slightly naive young man who doesn&#039;t know how she came by her fortune. Armand is just as attracted to Camille as she is to him, and she&#039;s prepared to give up the Baron and his stipend to be with Armand. However, Armand&#039;s father (Lionel Barrymore) begs Camille to turn away from his son, knowing her scandalous past could ruin his future. Realizing the painful wisdom of this, Camille rejects Armand, who continues to pursue her even as Camille contracts a potentially fatal case of tuberculosis. Remarkably, even though this was one of Garbo&#039;s greatest commercial and critical successes, she would make only three more films before her retirement in 1941; Camille, however, would be filmed several more times following this version (most memorably by elegant sexploitation auteur Radley Metzger in 1969&#039;s Camille 2000).

Among the last of the projects overseen by studio production chief Irving Thalberg, the film boasted MGM&#039;s customary collection of behind-the-camera all-stars, including director George Cukor, whose patient attention to Garbo helped her to find just the right tone for her role. The supporting cast is similarly solid, highlighted by standouts Henry Daniell and Laura Hope Crews. They help to deflect attention from the film&#039;s weaker scenes, most of which involve Lionel Barrymore as the father of the frustrated suitor (Robert Taylor). Despite spending the latter part of the film succumbing to illness, Garbo looks radiant, thanks to her Adrian gowns and William Daniels&#039; loving cinematography. Richard Gilliam, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- George Cukor directs this famous play [by Alexandre Dumas] with rare skill. Interior settings, costumes and exteriors are lavish and beautiful. The film shows the great care which went into its preparation and making. Robert Taylor plays with surprising assurance and ease. He never seems to be striving for a point. He speaks with a moderately modulated voice, never hurriedly, and in all the familiar Armand scenes, such as the first meeting, the parting from his mistress, the accusation in the gambling hall and, finally, the death chamber sequence, Taylor holds up his end of the story with distinction. Garbo&#039;s impersonation of Marguerite Gautier is one of her best portraits. She wears striking clothes, white usually, and while she looks older than the ardent young Armand, the disparity does not mitigate against the illusion. The two principals play the love scenes for full worth. There is much talk of their affection for each other, but Cukor, with wisdom, shows a minimum of embrace footage. Of the support players, Henry Daniell, as Baron de Varville, turns in a performance of unusual interest. He is the menace in the background, the lover whom Camille deserts for Armand and the one to whom she returns. Daniell is suave and properly elegant without being too obvious. Variety Staff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What it&#039;s about. Set in France of 1847, our heroine is Marguerite (Garbo), a lovely but sickly woman courted by two men, the wealthy, sneering Baron de Varville (Henry Daniell) and a naive young man of lesser fortune, Armand (Robert Taylor). Barrymore has a relatively small role as Armand&#039;s father. How others will see it. The costumed love story comes complete with a predictable tearjerker ending, and is Taylor made for a female audience. As with Garbo&#039;s turn as Anna Karenina, the audience must work up support for her fallen woman character. Anna Karenina worked better, however, because the source novel was superior, so the story doesn&#039;t seem as fabricated. How I felt about it. How many people watching Garbo will realize, or care, what a huge star she was at the time, and that she was one of the few stars to succeed in both the silent and sound eras? Classic film fans know about her, of course, but her placid beauty seems more conventional than alluring in today&#039;s more flashy and less civilized culture. Garbo is suitable for Marguerite because she is charming enough to be convincing as a charmer. A woman who understands the world, she knows that her use of men is wrong, but if the pleasure is mutual and the extravagent bills are paid, then, where is the harm? This contented world of false friends and pleasure is threatened not only by her frail health, but by the presence of Robert Taylor, who promises unfathomable romantic love but cannot pay for her frilly hats. Taylor is credible as both the lovesick hero and the jealous fool, which makes his casting also appropriate if not perfect. Henry Daniell, again appearing to play a character with interminable constipation, is both menacing and surprisingly perceptive. Camille was a subject ideal for George Cukor, a director well known for making films that appeal to women. The problem, to the degree that there is one, is with the story. The idea that Garbo would reject her lover so as not to deny her career... it&#039;s doubtful that she would care about his career, and both would take pleasure from his &#039;sacrifice,&#039; which amounts to exchanging tedious diplomatic formalities for evenings and nights with his delightful kept prize. Brian Koller, filmsgraded.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRIVIA: * The play originally opened in Paris on 2 February 1852. Alexandre Dumas fils based the character Marguerite on a woman with whom he had an affair for 11 months. She died when she was 23. The movie inspired Milton Benjamin to write and publish a song in 1936 called "I&#039;ll Love Like Robert Taylor, Be My Greta Garbo". * Greta Garbo&#039;s personal favourite movie of all her own films. * The film had its world premier at the Plaza Theater on Palm Canyon Drive in Palm Springs, California on 12 December 1936, which also was the grand opening night of the theater. Robert Taylor was in attendance at the gala. * Greta Garbo wore bedroom slippers under all her fancy dresses so she could be comfortable, as well as more naturalistic in her acting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE NOTICE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check you have installed the right codecs, as listed in this .nfo file, before trying to play it.
