THE ASTOR REVIEW

Few command the screen as Greta Garbo did, and she does so in Camille, which some consider her greatest picture. Garbo is a courtesan, moved to leave her life as the consort to a Baron while being consumed by her love for a French nobleman. A true classic and ode to the romantic opulence of 1930′s cinema.
