Camille
Released Jan. 22, 1937
Directed by George Cukor
Cast includes Greta Garbo, Robert Taylor, Laura Hope Crews, Henry Daniell, Elizabeth Allan, Lionel Barrymore
Greta Garbo arguably gives her greatest performance in Camille, a tearjerker of the first order astutely directed by George Cukor. The film is sumptuous and Garbo's beauty is mesmerizing. Who can forget her first close-up as she looks up from a bouquet of flowers? The film also features one of the most famous deathbed scenes ever recorded on celluloid. Garbo received an Academy Award nomination for her performance and was generally expected to win. Luise Rainer, however, took home the trophy for The Good Earth.
