The 1921 silent version of Camille starring Alla Nazimova and Rudolph Valentino has been overshadowed by the 1936 Greta Garbo filom. The 1921 version is in many ways a much more extraordinary movie.

It's a bizarre masterpiece, but it is a masterpiece.

The real star of the film is art director/costume designer Natacha Rambova. It’s one of the most visually stunning movies ever made
