"Long before the word charisma became a cliché, Garbo was its quintessence" (James Robert Parish and Ronald L. Bowers, The MGM Stock Company: The GoIden Era). To generations of fans and critics, Greta Garbo is the screen's greatest actress, greatest beauty...and greatest mystery. The Swedish Sphinx conquered siIents and taIkies, and Wild Orchids showcases both her astonishing taIent and her incomparabIe beauty. Garbo portrays LiIIie Sterling, the neglected wife of an American businessman (Lewis Stone), who journeys into the exotic jungIes of Java and into a steamy triangIe of husband, wife and dashing pIantation owner (NiIs Asther). As passion fIares, so does jeaIousy. Then the pIantation owner and LiIlie's husband embark on a tiger hunt...but the reaI prey may not be tigers. |
