English Summary:

Camille is a 1936 American romantic drama film from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer directed by George Cukor and produced by Irving Thalberg and Bernard H.

The film stars Greta Garbo, Robert Taylor, Lionel Barrymore, Elizabeth Allan, Jessie Ralph, Henry Daniell, and Laura Hope Crews.

Plot

The film tells of Marguerite Gautier (Greta Garbo). She's born into a lower-class family, but in time becomes well known, living in high society in Paris.

Marguerite's finances are covered by the wealthy Baron de Varville (Henry Daniell), but after many years of making money from her looks, she falls in love with Armand (Robert Taylor), a handsome young man.

Armand loves Marguerite and she's prepared to give up the Baron and be with Armand.

However, Armand's father (Lionel Barrymore) begs Marguerite to turn away from his son, knowing her past will ruin his future in Paris.

Realizing the painful wisdom of his advice, Marguerite rejects Armand, who continues to pursue her even as she contracts a serious case of tuberculosis. The film ends with Marguerite's tragic death in the arms of her suitor Armand, who has been much changed over the course of the film.

Hungarian Summary:

A XIX. századi Párizs világa egyszerre édes, mint az aranyszín pezsgő és kegyetlen, mint az átmulatott éjszakák utáni hajnalok hideg szürkesége. Marguerite Gautier (Greta Garbo), a gyönyörű kurtizán ebben a kétarcú világban éli a kéjnők viszontagságos mindennapjait. Egy napon felbukkan életében Armand Duval (Robert Taylor), aki beleszeret a szobor szépségű nőbe és szerelme jeleként kaméliás csokrokkal halmozza el szíve hölgyét. A vonzalom kölcsönös, és a románc hamarosan heves szerelemmé alakul, ám a jóképű világfi szülei nem nézik jó szemmel a kétes kimenetelű viszonyt… 
Alexandre Dumas regényét a zseniális, Oscar-díjas rendező, George Cukor vitte vászonra, Garbo pedig emlékezetes játékával egy Oscar-jelölést és a New York-i kritikusok legjobb színésznőnek járó, rangos díját is kivívta magának.
