Just finished watching Camille (1921) on TCM. The film stars Alla Nazimova and Rudolph Valentino. Each were quite good. I especially enjoyed watching Nazimova, who I have seen very little of on screen. I love the way she held her body, the way she moved her hands. Also quite extraordinary were the art deco costumes and sets by Natasha Rambova. All together, it is a worthwhile film - should you have a chance to see it.
