Flesh and the Devil
Movie Information
In Brief: Clarence Brown's 1926 John Gilbert vehicle, adapted from Hermann Sudermann's novel The Undying Past, is the film that made Gretta Garbo a star — and for that, we should all be eternally grateful. Beyond Garbo and her chemistry with Gilbert, there's not much to commend this two-tissue tale of star-crossed romance in pre-WWI Austria, but Garbo is at her best here, and that alone is worth the price of admission.
