The movie was shown with live music, which made the experience more memorable, for otherwise, even in spite of some nuanced performances from Negri and Witold Kuncewicz, it's not a movie that holds a lot of historical sway. 6

**Though born in Poland, Ms Negri retired to San Antonio, Texas in 1957, where she passed away 30 years later, in 1987, aged 90. (Apparently Negri initially lived in the Menger Hotel near, a place I’ve been lucky to stay.)

Pola Negri was a brilliant Polish star of silent movies and among the first successful Europeans in Hollywood. Born in 1897 in Lipno, Poland, she debuted in 1914 in "Slave of Desires" and quickly becoming the most popular actress in Warsaw. In 1917, she left for the heart of European cinema, Berlin, where she appeared in 23 films. By the early 1920s, Negri arrived in New York and the most important stage of her career began. Her greatest success was a role in "Forbidden Paradise" by director Ernst Lubitsch. In the U.S., she not only was a silent movie star but also as a worshiped sex symbol. Both the legendary Charlie Chaplin and the screen heart-throb, Rudolf Valentino, could not resist her charm -- as their relationships dominating tabloids throughout the era. Negri appeared in 63 films, with the last being "The Moon-Spinners" in 1964. She passed away in San Antonio, Texas in 1987 at the age of 90. In her 1970 memoirs, Negri wrote: "Tadeusz Styka, a famous painter of women's portraits at the time, had his studio near Paris. So when he expressed a desire to paint my portraits, I gladly agreed." She explained, "Styka's genius lay not only in capturing likeness, but also in conveying the era and individuality of the portrayed person." Styka depicts the beautiful femme fatale at about age 25, well after her marriage to a Polish count, but before her marriage to Georgian prince Serge Mdivani or steamy relationships with Chaplin or Valentino ... or her close two-decade-long live-in relationship with Texan oil heiress, vaudeville performer, and radio hostess Margaret West. Negri glances at us over her bare left shoulder with sparkling big eyes and a flirtatious smile through thin red lips. She is wrapped only in a fur coat, revealing her shoulders and back. She isn't indecent, but she stimulates the imagination as a "movie vamp" emphasized by a fashionable string of pearls thrown over her back and a large ring on her right hand.
