Inspiration
Released Feb. 6, 1931
Directed by Clarence Brown
Cast includes Greta Garbo, Lewis Stone, Robert Montgomery, Marjorie Rambeau
Based on the 1884 play Sappho, Garbo is cast as a model who is the ultimate "inspiration" for artists. Robert Montgomery plays the man who inspires her. Unfortunately, the film itself is less inspiring. It does not hold up well today and is rather dull. There is little chemistry between Garbo and Montgomery. The critics praised her, however, including the New York Times who raved, "Miss Garbo, no matter what can be said of the story, gives a stunning performance.
