Susan Lenox

“She sought the sweet fruits of living, snatching at each bit of happiness....what if the world did call her bad.”

In 1931, Helga, who becomes Susan Lenox (Greta Garbo), runs away from a violent home and a marriage arranged without her say. She meets Rodney Spencer (Clark Gable), a handsome engineer, and the two of them reach for a happiness that keeps slipping out of reach. Robert Z. Leonard directed this pre-Code picture, the only time Garbo and Gable shared the screen.
