Film Notes

Just about everyone has written off this film, so it’s better to expect nothing and then you might be surprised. Sternberg re-shot half of frank lloyd’s Children of divorce for paramount to make it releasable – you can’t miss the shadow language of his scenes. Clara bow and gary cooper are so young and exquisitely beautiful, lovers off-screen and on. Sometimes we glimpse what esther ralston might have been like in sternberg’s the case of lena smith, a lost film today except for the precious fragment recently discovered
