Beautiful Marguerite Gauthier (Greta Garbo) lifts herself out of her poverty-stricken upbringing by becoming the enchanting "Lady of the Camellias," well-kept courtesan of the rich and influential Baron de Varville (Henry Daniell). When young Armand (Robert Taylor) falls in love with Marguerite, his sincere adoration causes her to question her comfortable life, and, despite the protests of Armand's scandal-wary father (Lionel Barrymore), she considers leaving the Baron for him.

Critics Consensus

Greta Garbo breathes life into this familiar story and reinvigorates audiences with this new version of Camille while writer Zoe Akins and director George Cukor mine the Dumas classic for all its romantic, Paris-set gold.

This picture is veritably a classic of the screen. Go to Full Review C. Reichard Orlando Sentinel Feb 4
A peculiar, brilliant vehicle for the glamorous Garbo. Go to Full Review Mildred Martin Philadelphia Inquirer Feb 4
The picture belongs to Miss Garbo, whose sustained, intelligent, completely fresh, and touching performance in a role beset with innumerable pitfalls once more sets her upon the sparsely peopled heights. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Feb 12
3/4
George Cukor has long been tagged a "woman’s director," and his elevation here of the actress from mere mortal to silver screen goddess is an example why. Go to Full Review Citizen Staff Ottawa Citizen Feb 4
The settings are sumptuous and strictly in the period. Go to Full Review Harold V. Cohen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Feb 4
There should be lengthy tributes to Mr. George Cukor for his sensitive direction, to Miss Laura Hope Crews for her excellent work as an aging courtesan, to Henry Daniell for his chill, forbidding baron, and to Lionel Barrymore for his grand moment. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
