Torrent (1926)


MGM
Directed by Monta Bell
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

A peasant family is kicked out of their home after their daughter falls in love with the landlord's son. She leaves for Paris, where she becomes a famous opera singer. Returning home years later, her reputation combined with his engagement to a local girl initially prevent them from rekindling the romance. However, they eventually do, much to the disappointment of their respective families. Downbeat melodrama has little to offer other than an early look at Garbo.
