Cast: Greta Garbo, Fredric March, Basil Rathbone
Synopsis:
The wife of a Russian diplomat falls in love with an army officer but her husband will not grant a divorce. Their life together is briefly happy before social pressures prove too much.
Review:
Tolstoy's masterpiece gets its greatest embodiment: Garbo was born to play this role, indeed had already done so in the silent, Love (1927) opposite her beloved Gilbert. Brown directs here with great distinction and March makes for a dashing Vronsky, Rathbone a sombre Karenin.
