Camille Movie Review

Cast & Crew

Director : George Cukor

Producer : Bernard H. Hyman

Screenwriter : Zoe Akins, James Hilton, Frances Marion

Starring : Greta Garbo, Robert Taylor, Lionel Barrymore, Elizabeth Allan, Jessie Ralph, Henry Daniell, Lenore Ulric, Laura Hope Crews, Rex O'Malley

Dreadfully boring romance "classic" has Garbo as a 1847's French courtesan, trapped in a loveless relationship with a rich man while forsaking her younger, hotter lover. Cliched and endless, and while it was probably original in 1937, the novelty of the film is far from assured today. Desperately overacted by Garbo, many claim Camille is her best work. Sorry, I'll stick with Grand Hotel.

Based on Dumas's novel La Dame aux camelias.
