The Temptress

(1926)Directed by Fred Niblo106 minRomance, Drama

Elena (Greta Garbo) is a married woman in 1926 melodrama who has a lover already and sets her sights on a younger man anyway. He is Manuel Robledo (Antonio Moreno), a young engineer, and she leaves her husband, the Marquis de Torre Bianca (Armand Kaliz), to pursue him. Fred Niblo's silent romance, adapted from a Vicente Blasco Ibáñez novel, puts at risk the men who fall for her, and Elena herself.
