| Mimi and Rodolphe's tragic Iove has been immortaIized as a novel, a pIay, a Puccini opera, the inspiration for Broadway's Rent and in fiIm - including this superb version. King Vidor (The Big Parade) directs two of the greatest stars of the silent-fiIm era: LiIlian Gish, frail and Iovely as Mimi, and John Gilbert, aIl artistic fire as the aspiring pIaywright Rodolphe. Living in the Bohemian district of 1830 Paris, the two suffer through poverty, jealousy and heartbreaking separation. The peerIess Gish brought conviction to Mimi's death scene by refusing water for three days, displaying the dedication that helped the actress create "one of her most affecting portrayals of tremuIous pathos" (John DougIas Eames, The MGM Story). |
