The Garden Of Eden (1928)

A young girl (Corinne Griffith) leaves for Budapest where she hopes to find fame as an opera singer. Instead, she ends up working as a chorus girl in a notorious cabaret. The cabaret's costume seamstress (Louise Dresser) takes her under her wing and they head to Monte Carlo. Based on the play by Rudolf Bernauer and Rudolf Osterreicher and directed by Lewis Milestone (ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT). A rather wearisome romantic comedy with Corinne Griffith playing a variation of Cinderella and Louise Dresser playing her "fairy godmother". Griffith is as cute as a button but that can carry the storyline only so far before the tediousness sets in. The movie originally contained a Technicolor dream sequence but that seems to have been lost to time. With Lowell Sherman, Charles Ray and Maude George.
