Content:
This edition of Love was originally produced for broadcast on the Turner Classic Movies cable television network, and even though the film has been screened on TCM with both endings, this edition unfortunately offers only the happy ending. The film is accompanied by an original music score performed by a small orchestra, as led by the composer Arnold Brostoff, that was recorded live at a 1994 screening of the film at Royce Hall on the UCLA campus. This was an unfortunate idea as, along with the music, an unsophisticated audience laughing and tittering at the film was recorded. Garbo and Gilbert with a laugh track. To make matters even worse, the score itself is not very good: three or four themes are repeated ad nauseam throughout the film whether they are particularly appropriate to the on-screen action or not. I wonder if this music score was the inspiration for the misguided final poem in Christopher Conlon's Romance in Poems, "Gilbert and Garbo in Love," in which a fictional 80-year-old Garbo sneaks into a revival house and watches Love while the audience hoots and howls. (Karl Holzheimer, Silent Era)
