Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGreta Garbo was extremely protective of Erich von Stroheim during filming. He was suffering from depression and poor health, and on some occasions, she covered for him by claiming to be sick.
- GoofsThe quick change of Greta Garbo's hair style is very odd: It may have been possible for her character to darken her blonde hair within a week but impossible to grow it to this length. There is no suggestion that her character Zara wears a wig in the beginning of the film.

Featured review
Intriguing treatment of intriguing theme
This film is almost forgotten but remains one of the most unusual in Garbo's career. It was daring to use a Pirandello play (what remains of it) and the stylistic inconsistencies are actually absolutely right for the theme that nothing is what it seems (but could be, if we so desired it). Compare it to "Two faced Woman" ten years later, also with Douglas and also about confusions of identity. You will see how much better is the earlier film and how much more beautiful Garbo was, even in a fright wig. George Fitzmaurice was a talented director with a great sense of style. Like most early sound films you have to see a good copy. Much of what we see now is just a travesty of the original and makes it very hard to appreciate its real quality.
