The Painted Veil (1934) Greta Garbo

Description

Plot Synopsis  	by Hal Erickson



A W. Somerset Maugham novel was the source for the fair-to-middling Greta Garbo vehicle The Painted Veil. In a situation
comparable to the plotlines of most of her silent films, Garbo is lovelessly married to Herbert Marshall, but carries a
flaming torch for George Brent. (Also harking back to Garbo's silent days is the fact that neither one of the men in her
life is particularly interesting!) Marshall, a brilliant physician, is compelled to go into the interior regions of
China to quell a cholera epidemic. He knows that Garbo has been having an affair with politician Brent, and chivalrously
gives her the choice of remaining with Brent or accompanying him. Fearing a scandal, Brent bids farewell to Garbo. Once
they're in the midst of the epidemic, Garbo tirelessly works by her husband's side; eventually she falls in love with
him for the first time. Seriously injured in a peasant uprising, Marshall hovers near death. Brent reappears, offering
to take Garbo back with him. She refuses, electing to stay with her husband no matter what the future brings. Among the
supporting players in The Painted Veil are Warner Oland and Keye Luke, one year away from their memorable pairing in
Fox's Charlie Chan films.
