NOTES B/W

Garbo plays a prostitute (a.k.a... courtesan) not only with a

heart of gold but a halo. A classic love story made to the

highest standards of the time. Marguerite (Garbo) dies of

tuberculosis and the audience dehydrates from weeping.

From the novel by Alexandre Dumas (fils), La Dame aux

Camelias.
