The amazing performance of Greta Garbo is just enough to watch this movie. We can see a sick, weak and beautiful lady as the protagonist. She was Oscar nominated for the Best Actress in a Leading Role. Camille is said to be the favorite movie of the actress.All other actors, Robert Taylor, Lionel Barrymore etc. are perfect in their cast.Director George Cukor has done a great job in making the movie a very interesting Romantic Drama. The movie will remain in your heart for ever.Camille is highly recommended for those who are looking for great movies.Sameir Ali

Greta Garbo (I'm not objective in the slightest here, because she's my favourite actress ever) is astonishing as The Lady of the Camellias in this, the most well-known cinematic rendition of Alexandre Dumas' tragic story. In comparison to the 1921 silent version, Cukor's a much better director, though Rudolph Valentino's better as Armand Duval. Both versions are intriguingly different, and Henry Daniell's just great as the villainous Baron. Essential viewing, especially for fans of Garbo and classic tearjerker films.See it with someone you love. A good cry is always soothing for the soul, especially in these troubled times of ours.

Quite dull.Based on the Alexandre Dumas fils novel and play, and set in France in the mid-1800s, a story of romance and social machinations. And that's all it is really. Just one long examination of mid-1800s upper class types and social intrigues and manipulation. Complete with the inevitable duel.It all feels so stuffy, irrational and overwrought, especially by today's standards. Who knew relationships were so complicated in the 1800s...?Really only for people who like 1800s romances and period pieces.

This is a strong movie featuring outstanding performances by the entire cast. Robert Taylor performance is particularly noteworthy as well as is Henry Daniell's. Greta Garbo of course is wonderful. But this is Robert Taylor's movie. His performance is compelling, evocative, and powerful. He dominates the movie. And Henry Daniell is the perfect foil for Mr. Taylor as both men vie for the affections of a certain beautiful woman. The dialogue is snappy and the cinematography impressive. But those are secondary to the story which is dramatic without being becoming sentimental. The interaction between Garbo and Taylor and Daniell is intense and makes this movie one of the better works of drama.
