Aug 5, 2019 · Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz. John S. Robertson (“Captain Hurricane”/”Little Orphan Annie”) directs with gusto the Great Garbo, the Swedish star, in her penultimate silent. It’s an adaptation of the 1928 Adela Rogers St. John novel. Josephine Levett writes the screenplay.

The Single Standard. Directed by: John S. Robertson. Starring: Greta Garbo. Genres: Romance, Melodrama. Rated the #116 best film of 1929.
