Garbo is luminescent in this morality tale in which for the first time ever, I found Herbert Marshall compelling in a role.
Lovely woman facing spinsterhood accepts the impetuous marriage proposal of a decent man for whom she feels no passion -- a doctor devoted to helping cholera patients in China.
When Katrin starts to feel neglected by her selfless spouse, she yields to the advances of her husband's alleged friend (George Brent), only to realize a short time later that he's all about himself. "All the best," he says in exiting. Ouch!
Many a woman will identify with romantic Katrin, and many a guy may learn from Walter's example. Hats off to second chances!
