Romance: Garbo is miscast in this static, hokey early talkie about an Italian opera star who philosophizes about love and has a relationship with an inexperienced young priest (limply played by Gordon).

Garbos 2nd talkie we see her in classic form.Her 1st talkie Anna Christie seems technically crude and could use better casting. Now we jump to this film and we have classic Garbo.This is one of her underated and better films. Someone said she never played an ordinary person,here she is cast as a famous opera star.A glamorous role added to her glamour seems only right.There is a sense that now she feels at home in the talkies.Some may feel script is melodramatic but it is an intelligent one non the less.So if your a Garbo fan and havent seen this, your in for a treat

Young Harry is in love and wants to marry an actress, much to the displeasure of his family. Harry thinks that Bishop Armstrong knows nothing about love so Armstrong tells him the story of Rita and himself. Rita was an Opera Star singing in New York who was at a party given by Cornelius. Armstrong was a 28 year old rector. He fell for Rita when he saw her and after six weeks he wanted to marry her. Naive as he was, he thought that all of Rita's "relationships" were in the distant past, but Rita lives for the moment and knows that she can never marry Armstrong.
