&#160;

Although not as widely known as other big Old Hollywood productions, David O. Selznick&#8217;s film adaptation of Charles Dickens&#8217;s A Tale of Two Cities, set during the time of the French Revolution, is far, far better than  most of the other period dramas made during the studio era. 
Starring former silent-screen heartthrob Ronald Colman;  featuring respected supporting players such as Edna May Oliver, [...]]]></description>

Queen Christina (1933)
Direction: Rouben Mamoulian
Screenplay: H. M. Harwood and S. N. Behrman
Cast: Greta Garbo, John Gilbert, Ian Keith, Lewis Stone, Elizabeth Young, C. Aubrey Smith, Reginald Owen, David Torrence
&#160;

&#160;

One of the most ambitious productions of the early 1930s, Queen Christina remains surprisingly modern in its execution thanks in large part to Rouben Mamoulian&#8217;s assured hand. Those looking for historical accuracy in the film, however, will be greatly disappointed, for credited screenwriters H. M. Harwood and S. N. Behrman kept themselves busy concocting a highly fictionalized version of the  Swedish queen; one who experiences an all-consuming and ultimately tragic love affair with a Spanish envoy. (Garbo biographer Mark Vieira explains [see below] that credited screenwriter &#8212; and close Garbo friend [...]]]></description>

The Letter (1929)
Direction: Jean de Limur
Screenplay: Garrett Fort, from W. Somerset Maugham&#8217;s 1927 play
Cast: Jeanne Eagels, O. P. Heggie, Reginald Owen, Herbert Marshall, Irene Browne, Lady Tsen Mei, Tamaki Yoshiwara

&#160;
Having  seen William Wyler&#8217;s masterful 1940 adaptation of Somerset Maugham&#8217;s The Letter and having read quite a bit about Broadway star Jeanne Eagels&#8216; remarkable talent, I was expecting to find at least a modicum of quality in Jean de Limur&#8217;s 1929 version of the tale. I was  greatly disappointed even though the plot is basically the same as the one found in the Wyler version:
