Almost all of the written comments seem "10" scores and yet the overall vote is not nearly as high. Perhaps it takes an articulate person to understand this grand movie must be judged in context --- as others have said, Talkies were not only a decade old. Do you think Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler will be remembered fondly twenty years hence? Well Who cares!
Garbo, unmatchable. Only 15 years of movie-making, our loss. But Queen Christina gives her one of my favorite movie scenes. That long, almost-silent shot (recently shown in the context of the under-rated "The Dreamers") is merely perfect. The music, the faces, the photography and then, the answer: "I am memorizing this room!".
Kudos to an early classic!
