Movie time...

..."Flesh and the Devil" a silent classic from 1926. If you've never seen a silent film before this is a great one to watch. It's a classic that stands up very well, like other silent classics "the Phantom of the Opera", "Ben Hur", etc.

...The story is about two men Ulrich (Lars Hanson) and Leo (John Gilbert) who's lifelong friendship is torn apart by a manipulating gold-digging woman named Felicitas (the legendary Greta Garbo)...

...in real life Garbo and Gilbert fell in love during filming, and it shows on screen. Their romantic scenes are hot and intense. Many have said their chemistry on film rivals anything we see on screen today. That says a lot, considering this film is nearly 100 years old...

...In the film, the married Felicitas starts an affair with Leo. Which leads to a duel between Leo and her Count husband. The Count is killed but Leo (who is in the military) is sent away. Upon returning, Felicitas has married his best friend Ulrich (who doesn't know Leo and Felicitas were once lovers.) Felicitas begins cheating on Ulrich with Leo. And it leads to a gun duel between the two men, and to a shocking ending...

...the movie is fun, incredibly entertaining, is filled with lovely cinematography, and very homoerotic moments between the male stars. As their characters sort out their feelings for Felicitas and for each other. Enjoy!
