Ah, the scandal! A fully naked Hedy Lamarr traipsed through the forest and
swam in a lake before dumping her new husband, all because he refused to sleep
with her. Okay, it is a little scandalous after all. At its heart Ecstasy is a
story about finding love (Hedy meets a younger guy more open to her wanton ways
during the aforementioned nude scene). Very daring for the silent film era,
the pic is still pretty simple and a bit saccharine, though it's easy to watch
thanks to some fine performances.
Aka Extase.
