Flesh and the Devil, the 1926 Clarence Brown silent romantic love triangle melodrama ("From the novel The Undying Past by Hermann Sudermann"; about a man who becomes obsessed with a woman after just catching a glimpse of her; he doesn't see her for years and when he does, he enrages her husband, who challenges him to a duel, and he kills the husband, and is sent away; while he is gone, his best friend watches after the widow, and when he returns, he discovers his best friend has married her; he still can't resist her, and his friend catches him with his wife, and they agree to have a duel, but while they are about to shoot, they realize the absurdity of it, and throw down their guns and embrace, but the wife, who was coming to stop them, dies on the way!) starring John Gilbert, Greta Garbo, Lars Hanson, Barbara Kent, and William Orlamond. Note that it seems amazing in the present day to realize that John Gilbert was billed above the title in this movie and that Greta Garbo received much inferior second billing (equal to that of third billed Lars Hanson), but of course, this was Greta Garbo's first year in the U.S., and her third American movie, and John Gilbert was a major established star, so he fully deserved his much better billing!

Important Added Info: Note that this is a hand-colored card. In the days of silent movie prior to the invention of good quality full-color printing, studios would have lobby cards printed in black and white and then amazingly would hire women to hand-color the cards one at a time (apparently labor was very cheap at the time)! So, each card is colored slightly differently, and the coloring is never a perfect match.
