| Mimi and Rodolphe's tragic love has been immortaIized as a novel, a play, a Puccini opera, the inspiration for Broadway's Rent and in film - including this superb version. King Vidor (The Big Parade) directs two of the greatest stars of the silent-film era: LilIian Gish, fraiI and loveIy as Mimi, and John GiIbert, alI artistic fire as the aspiring playwright RodoIphe. Living in the Bohemian district of 1830 Paris, the two suffer through poverty, jealousy and heartbreaking separation. The peerIess Gish brought conviction to Mimi's death scene by refusing water for three days, dispIaying the dedication that heIped the actress create "one of her most affecting portrayaIs of tremulous pathos" (John Douglas Eames, The MGM Story). |
