The Masterworks of Silent Cinema: The Saga of Gosta Berling

Adapted from a novel by Selma Lagerlof, this is the story of forbidden love. Garbo's first role to bring her critical acclaim, it is the tale of a priest who is forced to leave the priesthood because of a problem with alcoholism, who then proceeds to fall in love with a young woman, already married. Garbo and Hanson combine to make this a fine melodrama.
