Greta Garbo gets little to do other than be the object of men's lustful gazes in this shaky melodrama from Fred Niblo. It begins like a spoof of every romantic tearjerker made up to that point, with Garbo and Moreno enjoying a night together after meeting at a masked ball in Paris, then turns into an altogether different beast when, the very next day, he discovers she's married to his friend, so immediately ups stakes for his native Argentina only to have her follow him out there. Garbo looks ravishing - if a little out of place on an Argentinean building site - and a strong supporting cast do their best, but the writing is weak and the characters poorly defined.
