DVD Reviews of Camille
DVD Review: Vintage film
Summary: 5 Stars
Since my wife and I were raised during black and white films, we found this version to be excellent. Garbot, with her slight accent, was wonderful. A fun movie to watch again and again.DVD Review: Boiled Swede
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie shows that Swede Greta Garbo had the acting range of a swede...Robert Taylor's hat deserves a special mention for eclipsing the Mad Hatter's!DVD Review: Camille on DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This was unobtainable locally. Tried everywhere. Thanks to Amazon I now have it . Was about 12 years old when I saw the movie and Greta Garbo became my first love. Despite the period it was made, she would still outclass most modern actresses. The DVD also contains the silent Ivor Novello version which is interesting. Cannot see what people saw in him. A real ham!DVD Review: Best Movie of all Time
Summary: 5 Stars
I first found this movie by renting it at the library, and instantly fell in love. Not just with the handsome lead actor, Robert Taylor, but the entire movie. I think all the actors did a superb job!The costumes are gorgeous! I loved the scenery, especially when they passed the Barons "castle", and when Armand (Taylor),takes Marguerite(Garbo),out to the country! Armand falls instantly in love, but Marguerite seems to play between the handsome younger Taylor, and the rich Baron at first, but then falls hopelessly in love with Armand, only to find out her health is rapidly failing her.DVD Review: Excellent in every way!
Summary: 5 Stars
This has been one of my favorite classic movies for years and I'm very satisfied with this newly restored version. It has lots of extras and great artwork. If this film where ever to be remade, I don't think it would ever be as great as this version. There will never be another Garbo unfortunately. She was truly one of the greatest actresses of all time. This movie makes me cry every time.
Description of Camille
Life in 1847 Paris is as spirited as champagne and as unforgiving as the gray morning after. In gambling dens and lavish soirees, men of means exert their wills and women turned courtesans exult in pleasure. One such woman is Marguerite Gautier (Greta Garbo), the Camille of this sumptuous romance tale based on the enduring Alexandre Dumas story. Garbo's aloof mystique and alabaster beauty illuminate this George Cukor-directed film featuring what many call her finest performance. Her Camille is a movie paragon of true love found (in suitor Armand Duval, memorably played by Robert Taylor), then sacrificed for a greater good. Garbo earned an Academy Award nomination and the New York Film Critics Best Actress Award for her memorable work.DVD Features:

One of Greta Garbo's touchstone films, this 1937 adaptation of the Alexandre Dumas novel finds the actress playing a dying courtesan who falls in love with a young nobleman (a slightly miscast Robert Taylor) and must sacrifice her happiness. Directed by George Cukor (The Philadelphia Story), the supreme "women's director" in Hollywood at the time, the film could have existed just to give Garbo room to be luminous (despite her character's illness) and a great star. But it is also a gorgeous MGM production with strong performances from Lionel Barrymore and the rest of the cast. (Henry Daniell is a standout as the villain.) --Tom Keogh
