So now I have seen Garbo in Camille. While she and Robert Taylor had an undeniable chemistry and the movie was beautifully made, I must admit when it was over I felt a little underwhelmed.
I mean, GARBO! She's such a legend. And for me, she just didn't live up to the hype. She gave a good performance but I wasn't especially moved by it. And I don't think her face is perfect and spellbinding.
I'm rather sorry I watched it. I feel kinda like I did when I figured it out about The Tooth Fairy.
I think she's more of an icon of her time. At this point, the legend is larger than the truth.
