Garbo plays a seductive temptress who wreaks havoc on the lifelong friendship between Gilbert and Hanson; unfortunately, other than one potent scene hinting at more complexity with her mysterious character (as she looks at herself vainly in the mirror while trying on widows&#8217; veils), we don&#8217;t learn enough about her to really understand her motivations. The primary draw of this disappointingly scripted film is William Daniels&#8217; luminous cinematography, which is consistently a treat to behold, and certainly contributed to Garbo&#8217;s imminent cinematic mystique. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> It&#8217;s difficult to ignore the homoerotic tensions between Gilbert and Hanson, who are often pictured as remarkably physically intimate. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Homoerotic.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Homoerotic.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Homoerotic.png 320w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Homoerotic-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Homoerotic-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Their blood-brothers friendship ultimately drives the entire narrative, and is the most intriguing (if underdeveloped) aspect of the script. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Genuine chemistry between Garbo and Gilbert<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Chemistry.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Chemistry.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23765\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Chemistry.png 320w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Chemistry-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Chemistry-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>The creatively filmed duel<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Duel.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Duel.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Duel.png 320w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Duel-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Duel-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Fine, atmospheric cinematography by William Daniels<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Cinematography.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Cinematography.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Cinematography.png 320w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Cinematography-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Cinematography-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Cinematography2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Cinematography2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Cinematography2.png 320w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Cinematography2-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Flesh-and-Devil-Cinematography2-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, though it&#8217;s worth a look simply for its historical relevance as the first of Garbo&#8217;s four pairings with Gilbert, and as the film which brought Garbo to stardom.
