The Mysterious Lady (1928)
Feb. 28th, 2009 11:57 amSummary: The love affair between a Russian Spy (Tania Fedorova/Greta Garbo) and an Austrian Officer (Karl von Raden/Conrad Nagel) is endangered and then salvaged by duplicity.
( Thoughts/Spoilers )
Overall, it's a film that is mainly saved by Garbo's ability to raise the quality of any film she acted in. She, along with the skilled direction and cinematography, cannot make up for the weak supporting cast and rote potboiler plotting.
