		All of her successful films were shot primarily on location in spectacular natural surroundings, and she portrayed women who lived in close alliance with the animals around them.
		Film historians believe that he was primarily responsible for the 1921 financial disaster The Girl From God's Country.
		By 1950, four films she directed had been released: Not Wanted, a hard-hitting drama about unwed mothers; Never Fear, about polio-stricken dancer; Outrage, which chillingly portrayed rape and its consequences and; Hard, Fast and Beautiful, in which a girl is forced into a pro tennis career by her domineering mother.

		His loose trilogy comprised of Sei Personaggi in Cerca D'autore (1921), Ciascuno a Suo Modo (1924), and Questa Sera Si Recita a Soggeto (1930) predicted the theatre of the absurd, poised as it was on the precipice of the modernist threshold.
		Known for his infatuation with narrative (to the extent that his films average three hours in length and have lasted all the way up to thirteen), Rivette's films are luxurious and observant exercises in witnessing the play, the maker as the middle degree of Lacan's three degrees of awareness.
		It is structured so playfully that it doesn't appear to be structured at all--until a finale that brings all the players to one lovingly crafted environment and a series of mellifluous epiphanies wherein the dread symmetry of all that has come before blooms into one of the most satisfying cinematic experiences of the year.

	Camille: Introductory Remarks by Brian Taves
		In addition to her films, Nazimova became the first of the movie queens to establish a virtual Hollywood court at her home (later known as "the Garden of Alla"), largely of emigres, who were dedicated in many different ways to the art of the cinema.
		CAMILLE, distributed by Metro, was her last film for a studio; she selected the property, and the scenario for this modern-day version of the Alexandre Dumas fils classic was written by June Mathis (1892-1927).
		CAMILLE succeeds as an example of the art film, and yet one that also retains the fundamental elements of melodrama that appeals to audiences, successfully melding both aspects in a manner that the more avant-garde Nazimova-Rambova collaborations do not achieve.

	Saint Saens
		harles Camille Saint-Saëns was born in Paris, France at the Rue du Jardin on October 9, 1935 and died after a rough trip to Algeria in Algiers near the seaside on Friday December 16, 1921 at 10:30, at the age of eighty-six.
		Camille Saint-Saëns was desperately precocious composing his first piece at the age of three a "Galop" for piano.
		Given Camille Saint-Saëns's mastery of the organ, it should hardly be surprising that one of his best-loved orchestral pieces is his "Symphony No. 3 in C Minor, known as the "Organ Symphony" because of the majestic use of the instrument in the finale.

	Greta Garbo
		Gilbert is an Austrian officer, falls for the married Garbo and kills her husband in a duel.
		Probably Garbo's best film, with a haunting performance by the radiant star as 17th-century Swedish queen who relinquishes her throne for her lover (shown in a scene at right with actor Lewis Stoneas as her Chancelor).
		Filmed before in 1915 (with Clara Kimball Young), 1917 (Theda Bara), and 1921 (Nazimova, with Rudolph Valentino as Armand).

	Amazon.ca: Camille: DVD: George Cukor,Ray C. Smallwood,Elizabeth Allan,Marion Ballou,Lionel Barrymore,Joan ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		One of Greta Garbo's touchstone films, this 1937 adaptation of the Alexandre Dumas novel finds the actress playing a dying courtesan who falls in love with a young nobleman (a slightly miscast Robert Taylor) and must sacrifice her happiness.
		Their approach (as films), however, is two generations apart--with the contemporary one rather shallow, the former (Camille), more idyllic and, in my opinion, more satisfactory.
		Certainly his work in the second half of the film is a major improvement when he experiences the frustrations of loving a woman who is being kept by a wealthy older man. His is a fine performance given the limitations of the role.

	notcoming.com \| Camille
		The 1936 Garbo film is a classic and a beautiful movie, but this is a role many actresses long to tackle—Garbo’s film was at least the 11th cinematic version of the Dumas story.
		She was an early fan of motion pictures, and had publicly announced her desire to film movies as early as 1912—an unusual ambition for a stage star of her day, and one she would fulfill in 1916, when movie producers first cast her in the film War Brides.
		Camille, her only picture in 1921, was her 11th film, and she was becoming a well-known screen personality thereafter.

		From the days of silent films through the present, lesbian actresses have played a significant role in Hollywood--both in the movies themselves and outside of them--but their contributions have rarely been recognized or spoken of openly.
		Her film career began with the silent film War Brides (1916) and continued through such movies as Camille (1921) and culminated in The Bridge of San Luis Rey (1944).
		But her film career finally dried up, not only because of the spectacular failure of Salomé, but also because of the formation of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America in 1922, which was to institute the infamous Motion Picture Production Code in 1929, and the rise of the studio system.

	USCCB - (Film & Broadcasting) - Garbo: The Signature Collection
		The "Garbo Silents" discs offer amusing, sometimes irreverent commentary by four different film historians and authors, and a documentary about a competition for film composers where the winner would get to score "The Temptress." These discs also include highly watchable photo montages; artfully edited stills from these films pay homage to the star's famed beauty.
		Though most of Garbo's films were "adult" in nature, they are by today's standards pretty tame indeed.
		And though Garbo never made another film after 1941's ill-fated "Two-Faced Woman," instead moving to New York to "be alone" and becoming famously reclusive, this DVD set conveys the power of a great star who could play larger-than-life heroines and even queens, rendering most of today's screen ladies positively plebian.

		In the past, when AMC showed silent films at all, they were either programmed in the middle of the night, or were buried in the riches of their annual film preservation festival/fund raising marathon.
		The original film was released on laserdisc by Lumivision and on homevideo by Milestone in a deluxe package that included the longest surviving version of the film, trailers and several short films.
		Two high-profile Paramount films did not appear at all, a number of films listed as "no further information on this film could be found" were in existence and readily available, the listing of songs for the musical films was often incomplete, one film appeared out of alphabetical sequence, and there were little factual errors.

		Camille showcases some of Garbo's work, but it's lovingly and impressively accented by the inherently sweeping talents of George Cukor, who turns Alexandre Dumas' novel into both a lush period piece and a hot-and-heavy romantic potboiler.
		Ninotchka is a film that I didn't much care for in film school, but after a few viewings, I find myself warming up to it quite a bit.
		Camille has the 1921 version of the film (starring Allan Nazimova and Rudolph Valentino) (!),a radio promo, and the film's trailer.

		The one element this film purposely lacks is surprise: we know from the first five minutes who did what to whom.
		Rear Window is one of Hitchcock’s “single-set” films, films that take place primarily or exclusively in one, fairly constrictive space (others are Lifeboat, Rope, and Dial M for Murder).
		Erich von Stroheim, who plays her butler, had actually been one of the greatest and most temperamental (as well as controversial) actor-directors of the 1920s, and was forced to turn strictly to acting after much-publicized extravagance on his productions and personality conflicts with his stars and producers.

	Camille (1936)
		Camille (1936) is one of the most romantically-atmospheric films ever made.
		It was adapted (by Zoe Akins, Frances Marion, and James Hilton) from Alexandre Dumas Fils' (the Younger) 1852 novel/play (La Dame aux Camelias) of the doomed romance of a tubercular courtesan/demimonde of ill repute in 19th century Paris.
		In her most popular and luminous film, Garbo was recognized for her performance with the film's sole Academy Award nomination, but she lost to Luise Rainer who won for another, heavily-promoted MGM classic, The Good Earth.

	Film History of the 1920s
		Dubbed the "Latin Lover," the matinee idol symbolized the forbidden and mysterious eroticism denied to American women in the 1920s in such films as The Sheik (1921), Camille (1921), the successful Blood and Sand (1922), The Eagle (1925), and The Sheik's popular sequel The Son of the Sheik (1926).
		In the early 1920s, three nightmarish, German expressionistic films were to have a strong and significant influence on the coming development of U.S. films in the 30s-40s - notably the horror film cycle of Universal Studios in the 30s, and the advent of film noir in the 1940s:
		His brooding and expensive Foolish Wives (1921) was the longest commercially-made American film to be released uncut at 6 hours and 24 minutes in Latin America, but it was severely edited to a 10-reel version for general release.

		The silent film screening was a new experience for most of the percussionistas in the audience.

	Camille review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Nazimova constructed two conclusions to "Camille": one in which she follows the original novel in that the heroine dies alone, and the other in which she follows the play, wherein the lady of the camellias dies, for the sake of dramatic effectiveness, in the arms of the sorrowing Armand.
		But it hints at pathos as it progresses, and there is a real note in the death of Camille.
		"Camille" is very nearly a series of close-ups of the star.

		Her Camille is a movie paragon of true love found (in suitor Armand Duval, memorably played by Robert Taylor), then sacrificed for a greater good.
		If you have to point to only one film that captured the essence of what her career is about, and the range of her talent, the unique mix of intelligence, irony, pathos, flirtation and unvarnished wrenching emotion, this is the film (closely followed by ANNA KARENINA).
		A Garbo film presents us with a woman with "an unpleasant past," a new love that changes her, a passion of operatic proportions, a grand self sacrifice, and the expected outcome of such unbridled passion in this time period.

	Lost Films
		These films left a lasting impression on me that caused me to seek out other silent films and research the lives of silent film era stars, particularly the ones that were little known; obscure or long since forgotten.
		It is the generally accepted belief of persons not associated with silent film that all silent films are slow paced; overly acted and badly acted melodramas from an ancient, long forgotten time.
		Upon viewing a good silent film such as these examples, they have found them to be quite intriguing and entertaining which makes them seek out other silent films thus destroying the common stereotype about silent film.
