Full score and parts for hire

Starring: Greta Garbo, John Gilbert Director: Clarence Brown Production Company: MGM USA, 1926 Film Print: B&W print available from Photoplay Productions (Film Speed: 18-21 frames per second) Recorded for Video Flesh and the Devil was the first of five films in which Greta Garbo Co-starred with her real-life lover John Gilbert. Both on and off screen, theirs was one of Hollywood's greatest romances. Set in Prussia, the film is a melodrama of love, adultery, duels and retribution, based on Hermann Sudermann's novel The Undying Past. Davis uses rich scoring with echoes of I 9th-century German Romanticism to complement Garbo and Gilbert's on-screen romance. The glorious love theme, as heard for instance in the garden scene, is one of his finest creations.
