Plot: Flesh and the Devil is a romantic melodrama that is most memorable for its nostalgic evocation of an impossibly elegant Austria, as well as for an erotically charged Communion service.

this 1927 romantic drama would bring garbo together with her leading man of choice, john gilbert. she plays felicitas, another adulterous woman.

A bit overly dramatic plotwise but there were times I could not look away for fear of missing something. Classic b&w with some REALLY well filmed scenes that will stay in your mind.

Excellent film. I had heard about this for years and it didn't disappoint. A familiar story -- a love triangle -- handled well, good performances, unexpected (although appropriate) ending and even though it's a drama, it has some good comic bits in the beginning. Keep an eye out for the pastor's drunken "double vision." The fireworks between Garbo and Gilbert are obviously real -- nobody is that good an actor. It's a shame John Gilbert, for whatever the true reasons are, didn't make it in talkies. He did a really good job here. I was surprised by Garbo's character, Felicitas. I didn't expect her to be quite so selfish and evil. But god she's gorgeous. I can see how a man could let his whole life go to rack and ruin over her. With the subject matter, and all the making out, I'm sure this film was shocking for its time, particularly the scene where the characters are in church and taking Communion. I'm not Catholic or shocked by much and this still got me. This film is just a quality effort all around.

My favourite Garbo film. I think that she is much more powerful in silent film, and seeing her so young is great. I don't think she was ever more beautiful than in the garden scene.
