Movie Info

This complex '30s film is based upon a play by Pirandello which involved a hapless amnesiac. In As You Desire Me, the legendary Greta Garbo plays a down-in-the-dumps amnesiac (she can't recall who her husband is) who ends up singing in a low-life nightclub and putting up with the advances of a cruel and crude novelist (Eric von Stroheim). She'd have remained in this miserable state were it not for the fact that she's recognized and returned to her true husband, who's a nobleman loyally in love

Very melodramatic early Greta Garbo talkie does benefit from her presence. She does have an amazing screen aura. The story is far fetched and a bit hokey though. Still worth watching, if nothing else for the cast.
