"Set in economically depressed Vienna, directly after WW1. In a slum, Lila Leid, wife of a lawyer, is murdered. The secretary of a business associate is connected to the crime by a necklace belonging to Lila and arrested. The necklace and the desparately needed cash it represents in turn connect the secretary to an impoverished ex-government official and his daughter. The chain of events leads ultimately to a nightclub and brothel." Director: G.W. Pabst. Cast: Greta Garbo, Robert Garrison, Valeska Gert, Asta Nielsen, Tamara Tolstoi. Black & White. English subtitles.
