This isn't a bad film, not at all.
I did find it a little sad, but that's mostly the ending and I'll get to that later.
Garbo is in and yes, she is beautiful. I enjoyed her attempt at an Italian accent. She gave it the ol' college try, so to speak.
It's interesting, too, to see Lewis Stone in a non-fatherly or grandfatherly role. He's a bit of a rogue, in fact, because Garbo is his mistress (and not of ceremonies, either!).
Gavin Gordon? Never heard of him before this. I thought he was very good as the grandfather advising his grandson about romance. He's okay as the leading man. I can understand Garbo's wanting Gary Cooper for her leading man. He's "Yep's" would have been better than Gavin Gordon.
In this movie, he falls for her (foreign women have a way of doing that) and she says she loves him, too. As best she can, she probably did.
As the grandfather advises his grandson to follow his own heart, he mentions that Garbo's character became a nun and had died not too long before his grandson approached him for said advice.
I would say it would be interesting to watch.
