A beautiful Russian spy seduces an Austrian military officer in order to obtain secret plans. When she falls in love with him, both are placed in danger.
From the archive
I've been researching newly public domain films from 1929 and earlier, so I'm uploading the best possible copies that I can find. Greta Garbo vehicle The Mysterious Lady was a massive hit on release, with even an exorbitant budget being recovered and then some. Modern reviews find a lot to enjoy from the film outside of Garbo's performance as well. In the picture, Garbo plays a spy who must choose between her new romance or her country, with drama and conflict arising constantly.
