COMENTARIO
Mark Zimmer en D. Obsessed
<p align="justify">
The Garden of Eden began life as a German stage play. A long-running success, it was selected as the vehicle by which Corinne Griffith would begin her relationship with United Artists. Although highly popular in silent films, and an early nominee for the Best Actress Oscar® (for The Divine Lady), she was one of many who did not survive the transition to sound. Griffith made a handful of pictures after this one, then retired, unable to sing or adjust her acting style to talking pictures.Griffith stars as Toni Lebrun, a young girl in Vienna wanting to become an opera star. She leaves her family and heads to Budapest, where she has an interview for the Palais de Paris. Unfortunately for Toni, this is not exactly an opera house, but a nightclub. When she is mortified by a see-through costume, Toni leaves along with Rosa, the costumer (Louise Dresser). Rosa is in fact the Baroness de Gercer, but she only has enough money to live it up as nobility for two weeks of the year. So they head to spend two weeks at Monte Carlo and the Hotel Eden, where they pretend Toni is Rosa's daughter. Both Richard Dupont (Charles Ray) and his uncle, Col. Dupont (Edward Martindel) fall in love with Toni and want to propose to her. Complications ensue, culminating in a notorious sequence featuring Toni in her underwear on her wedding day, something not permissible after the Production Code was adopted a few years later.
Although it has some screwball aspects, the film plays more as gentle comedy, with an occasional dash of slapstick. Director Lewis Milestone is content to let the situations create the humor without being overbroad. The production design by William Cameron Menzies is appropriately opulent and entirely convincing. On occasion, there are some visually dazzling shots, such as Toni and Richard seated at a grand piano, perfectly reflected in the raised lid, while the room slowly rotates around them.
Griffith is appealing and charming as the lead, although it doesn't make any great demands upon her. Dresser provides a quiet nobility joined with an increasing exasperation at the antics of her young ward. The male cast is fairly one-dimensional, interested in a single thing, generally in the person of Miss Lebrun. Maude George, as the androgynous keeper of the Palais de Paris, gives her small part an intriguing little flair that makes her memorable despite getting only a couple minute of screen time.There are some big plot holes in the story, such as how exactly Toni suddenly has been legally adopted by Rosa, and unlikely coincidences, such as another of Philip's uncles (Lowell Sherman) having been in the audience of the Palais de Paris on the one abortive evening of Toni's career there. But overall the picture is fun and moves briskly enough. The pacing is aided by a slight undercranking that provides a slightly sped-up feeling that boosts the comic effect. However, it's not overdone to the point of ridiculousness. A Technicolor dream sequence of Toni as a great opera star, prefiguring her later assumed wealth, remains unfortunately lost.
