Oddball romance between opera singer Greta Garbo and clergyman Lewis Stone is chronicled in this tedious early sound production. The two have nothing in common: she is flirtatious and in a relationship with a much older man while he is conservative and looking for a woman to grow old with. It should be no surprise that it doesn't work out, but they are both devastated anyway. Garbo's Italian with a Swedish accent is ludicrous, but she does, as usual, look absolutely angelic.
