'A Woman of Affairs' had a good deal going for it. It starred the always magical Greta Garbo. It had John Gilbert as her leading man, they always worked beautifully together in the four films they did together (starting with 'Flesh and the Devil' and finishing with 'Queen Christina') and Gilbert. It had Clarence Brown as director, he was not a consistent director as such but he was a sympathetic one with the right material. It had Douglas Fairbanks Jr in a more dramatic role. And it had Lewis Stone, another Garbo regular.
While not a great film as such, 'A Woman of Affairs' is a must for fans of Garbo who gives one of her best silent film performances. This is also a good representation of how well she and Gilbert worked together, and one of her better films with Brown as director. It is not a film for anybody who likes their stories realistic and more subtle, but for beautiful filming, emotional impact and good acting, 'A Woman of Affairs' is definitely worth seeing.
Is it perfect? No, and the story is the weak link. Not in a dull way, but it does get very melodramatic in the latter stages of the film and some parts are not just silly but sense and credulity go out of the window at times. Just didn't buy how some events happen as fast as they do here. The ending is both rushed and contrived.
Part of me did wish too that Gilbert's role was better developed and more interesting. Gilbert does very well with it but deserved more to do.
Garbo though is absolutely enchanting, she looks radiant and her presence is movingly noble and Diana's suffering portrayed with such graceful subtlety. Gilbert does well with what he has and he and Garbo match each other beautifully, never too restrained or overwrought and always sparkling. Stone is sincerely reserved as usual, while Fairbanks gives one of his better serious performances and is quite moving. Dorothy Sebastian sparkles. Brown directs sympathetically, no indifference here, and some of it is quite imaginative, the more symbolic moments not laid on too thick.
Despite the melodrama and silliness, there are many melancholic stretches handled with a lot of sincerity and not heavy-handedness and they come over as genuinely poignant and not over-bleak. 'A Woman of Affairs' is a very well made film and quite ravishingly photographed in the best moments. Carl Davis (known for writing compositions for many silent films much later on) provides a haunting and well fitting score, even if other scores of his for other films did better at enhancing the atmosphere, action etc.
Summing up, worth seeing for Garbo especially but didn't blow me away. 7/10

Adapted from the novel "The Green Hat", I would have retitled it "Two Gallant Ladies and The Men Who Messed Everything Up". However, even that doesn't do it justice. This is almost a feminist film. Garbo is one of the two of the last "Mad Merricks", not much more is said about the family name except that Diana is independently wealthy and somewhat reckless. In the opening scene she is driving her car wildly through the countryside with her first and only true love, Neville Holderness (John Gilbert), as a passenger. They have been in love since childhood and want to marry. However, Neville's dad, Sir Morton, does not want this marriage. No valid reason is given other than perhaps he does not want the pitter patter of little mad Merricks to end up being his heirs.
Neville has no money in his own name, so his dad uses this fact to get Neville to agree to take a job in Egypt, before he marries Diana, so that he can earn some money and start a career. Dad just wants to separate the pair on the hope that they will forget about one another. Diana sees through the ruse, and Neville doesn't even bother to say a last goodbye -again, dad's idea. Complications, heartache, and tragedy ensue.
The reason I say this is almost a feminist film is because the only two women in the film - Diana and Constance (Dorothy Sebastian) are the only virtuous people in the entire cast. Hugh (Lewis Stone), long time family friend of the Merricks, comes close, but near the end breaks a trust in doing what he thinks is a good deed. Jeffry, Diana's brother, is an alcoholic, Neville is ultimately a coward, his dad is a snob, and David Furness, who has always loved Diana and been Jeffry's hero since childhood, has his problems too. Problems so bad that Diana ruins her reputation in order to keep them secret so that the image that her brother Jeffry has of him can stay intact. In this way, she is a gallant lady. As for Constance, she is the girl of whom Neville's dad approves, so Neville marries her like the obedient son that he is. However, Constance is wise. She can see Neville and Diana are still in love, and does not blame either of them for something they cannot help. Thus she is also a gallant lady.
I'll let you watch and see how this all works out. I think it is Garbo's best silent film. She gives a strong performance in a film with a good plot and a good cast surrounding her, and as always, her chemistry with Gilbert is wonderful. Highly recommended.

This film is a great Garbo vehicle, and has such a perfect example of her mystique. She somehow manages to be a woman who enjoys sexual pleasure and the company of men, but at the same time, is saintly, with a love that is pure for only one man, and sacrifices herself in more than one way ... and she is transcendent on both sides of this coin. The film is packed with moments where a range of her wonderful expressions are on display, some vivid, some subtle. If you're a Garbo fan or want to become one, this would certainly not be a bad place to start.
Unfortunately, the film suffers a bit from a heavy dose of melodrama, most of which seems pretty contrived. The plot often doesn't make a lot of sense, in part because the original story was watered down pretty significantly for the censors. An example of this is the questioning of Garbo after her husband has committed suicide. It's obvious why this happened; he was about to be arrested for embezzlement and the police saw him jump, so the viewer (ok me anyway) is watching the aftermath thinking huh? In the original, however, it was because he has syphilis, something that was obviously a personal secret, and hence the questioning (and also later shunning) of Garbo. There are other examples that took too much of the edge off the story and made it less sensical.
Garbo dominates the film, but it's a fine cast behind her. John Gilbert is given less to do here which is too bad, but the chemistry the pair had is quite evident in a couple of open lip kisses. Dorothy Sebastian is radiant as a virtuous woman, and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. is suitably desperate as an alcoholic.
The film touches on marrying someone who is decent and loving them for that quality, but being passionate and truly in love with someone else, which is a timeless theme. The scene where Garbo is waiting in her honeymoon bed and gets a tepid kiss on the forehead, then in frustration resorts to turning on and off the overhead light after being left alone says it all. At one point her real love, played, by Gilbert, asks "Why did I ever let you go?" to which she responds "Yes, why?", and I don't think the film gives a good answer to this question, especially as it plays out. The pace as it does so is a little on the slow side too, and the dramatic ending is over-the-top. It's a near miss for getting a higher rating, but it's certainly watchable for Garbo.

Greta Garbo was the antithesis of the old fashioned, expressive silent movie actors of yesteryear. Instead of wildly moving her arms and gesturing her emotions with her total body, the Swedish actress expressed her characters' emotions by way of little hints of facial movements. A perfect example of her subtle acting expressions is seen in her third movie with actor and lover John Gilbert in December 1928's "A Woman of Affairs."
Movie critic David Denby described her acting style in the way she lowered her "head to look calculating or flutters her lips. Her face darkens with a slight tightening around the eyes and mouth; she registers a passing idea with a contraction of her brows or a drooping of her lids. Worlds turned on her movement."
"A Woman of Affairs" was another huge money-maker for MGM. The movie proved that Garbo was becoming a printing press of dollar bills for the studio. This was her fifth Hollywood film, and the adoring public continued to flock to movie houses nationwide to witness those slight yet profound expressions. As a contemporary reviewer penned in 1929, "She has glamour and fascination for both sexes which have never been equaled on the screen." Based on a 1925 play adapted from the 1924 best-selling but controversial novel The Green Hat, by Michael Arlen, "A Woman of Affairs" forced MGM to rework some the important details mentioned in both the novel and the play that included descriptions of syphilis, miscarriages and heroin use. The Will Hays Production Code frowned on those topics. The story, set in England, focuses on three childhood friends, Neville (John Gilbert), who falls for friend Diana (Garbo). An assignment to Egypt causes Neville to miss his opportunity to marry Diana, who ends up crossing the threshold with her other childhood friend, David (Johnny Mack Brown). During their honeymoon, David commits suicide for embezzlement. Setting off a soap opera-like drama is Diana's eye-popping discovery that Neville has returned to England several years later with a new-found love in Constance (Dorothy Jeffry).
Critics point out the movie's highlight occurs when Garbo is in the hospital nine months after she spent an evening over Neville's house. It's hinted she's had a miscarriage, which explains her passion to cradle a bundle of flowers. The sequence displays every emotion an actress can possibly show: from crying, to loving, to questioning, to a sense of loss and hope. Garbo informs the viewers all this simply by her facial expressions. Because of such a highly emotional sequence in the hospital, Garbo's clout with the studio was so valuable that MGM granted her the unusual request that visitors, including studio executives, be restricted from the set. The actress even asked black screens be built surrounding the area she was filming so extras and even technicians couldn't view her acting. Garbo defended her closed sets by explaining "If I am by myself, my face will do things I cannot do with it otherwise."
No one could argue about the results Garbo gave on the big screen. And the beancounters in the studio's accounting room stood by the actress's on-set demands after their offices were flooded with the receipts from the tremendous amount of tickets she sold under the MGM logo.

A WOMAN OF AFFAIRS (MGM, 1928), directed by Clarence Brown, from the then controversial novel, "The Green Hat" by Michael Arlen, reunites then popular love team of John Gilbert and Greta Garbo in their third collaboration on screen. Initially teamed under Clarence Brown's direction in the highly popular FLESH AND THE DEVIL (1926), followed by LOVE (1927), taken from the Leo Tolstoy's classic novel, "Anna Karenina," Gilbert and Garbo once more star in a silent melodrama about love and tragedy. Unlike their earlier screen efforts, their characters in this story are already acquainted since childhood, leaving no chance of meeting and falling in love, but the difference here is that their relationship is interfered by a third party who happens not to be another lover or spouse. And unlike their earlier two films, Garbo is more the central focus here than Gilbert.
The story begins quite amusingly, finding the wild and merry Diana Merrick (Greta Garbo) driving recklessly down the road in the Mack Sennett Keystone comedy fashion, nearly missing the ditch diggers as she drives over them. Moments later, the characters in the story, the Holderness and the Merricks, are introduced with each passing scene. Diane is a carefree woman who has loved Neville Holderness (John Gilbert) since childhood. She has a brother, Jeffry (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.), a pampered youth who's so bored with his life that his only satisfaction is boozing up with liquor. Jeffry's closest friend, David Furness (Johnny Mack Brown), tries to stop him from his wild and wicked ways, but to no avail. Neville's father, Sir Morton (Hobart Bosworth), disapproves of the Merrick family's way of life. When he learns that his son wants to marry Diana, he manages to send Neville away to Egypt for a few years, in hope that the two will forget one another through the passage of time. Two years later, Diana marries David. On their wedding night, detectives (one of them played by character actor Fred Kelsey) enter their honeymoon suite in France to arrest David on the charges of theft. Before he can be arrested, David ends his life by jumping out the window. To keep David's name clear for decency sake, she secretly sets out to repay the victims of David's past crimes, a deed only known to the family physician, Doctor Hugh Trevelyan (Lewis Stone). Over the next few years, Diana makes the gossip columns as being a widow of many love affairs throughout the world. As for Neville, he becomes engaged to marry a nice young girl named Constance (Dorothy Sebastian), whom, as Diana describes through the title cards, as a girl "whose eyes are so true and clean." But Old Man Holderness, knowing how his son and Diana still feel about one other, continues to keep the scandalous Diana away his son, causing Neville to become like Jeffry, an unbearable alcoholic.
While not as famous by today's standards as FLESH AND THE DEVIL, A WOMAN OF AFFAIRS somewhat predates those "Peyton Place"-type soap-operas or Lana Turner melodramas quite popular during the 1950s and 60s. It also shows that aristocratic families may have all the luxuries that money can buy, but money does not always buy happiness. Douglas Fairbanks Jr.'s portrayal as an unhappy youth who turns to drink, is quite believable, especially when his glassy eyes, uncombed hair almost covering a portion of his eye, with whiskey glass in his hand that at times has him resemble a young John Barrymore. Whether this was intentional or not will never be known. Fairbanks, however, does well with his early screen performance.
Clarence Brown's direction with the Gilbert-Garbo loves scenes do have some bonuses, but are not as "hot" as in FLESH AND THE DEVIL. One scene that stands out is finding Diana, wearing a special ring on her finger, making love to Neville on the couch, with Diana telling him, "I would only take it off for the man I love." The camera then pans down to her hand just as the ring slowly slips off her finger. As for the story itself, it takes place during a span of ten years, yet the characters in the plot don't look any different in the conclusion as they appear in the opening, making the storyline look more as if it takes place in a span of ten months than ten years. The costumes and hairstyles are obviously modern late 1920s, which works out better in the latter portion of the story than the early segments, circa 1918. And although Garbo has that special beauty, especially when properly photographed, she doesn't look particularly attractive in some of those costumes designed for her, mainly when wearing those flapper-designed hats. Essentially a silent movie that was initially distributed in theaters with recorded scoring, one wishes such a score for this film have been used for its current video distribution, which comes with a Thames stereo orchestral soundtrack. The stereo score has its moments, but when it comes to its slow tempo violin playing in some segments of the story, it becomes a real sleep inducer. A WOMAN OF AFFAIRS was remade by MGM in 1934 as OUTCAST LADY starring Constance Bennett and Herbert Marshall. Both versions are available for viewing on cable TV's Turner Classic Movies.
One final note: A WOMAN OF AFFAIRS was one of the 13 feature films presented on the public television series, MOVIES, GREAT MOVIES (Original air date: October 26, 1973), a 50th anniversary tribute to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer of the silent era, as hosted by Richard Schickel, on WNET, Channel 13, in New York City. Clocked then at 109 minutes, the TCM print differs in scoring and length, either at 98 (Thames) or 91 minutes. (***)
