Based on a novel by the Spaniard Vicente Blasco Ibáñez (Sangre y arena), ‘La tierra de todos‘ was Greta Garbo’s second film in Hollywood and the one that established her magnetic character as a vampire who destroys the lives of those men who do not care to resist her charms. The actress plays a marquise who after some romantic scandals decides to settle in Argentina, where she meets a young architect who’ll fall under her charm. Mauritz Stiller, a Swedish filmmaker and Garbo’s mentor during her early years as an actress in Scandinavian film, who was responsible for the diva’s journey to the United States, was the first director of the film. But soon after shooting started, due to disagreements with the producers, he was replaced by Fred Niblo. Stiller would never again direct Garbo and died shortly after in Stockholm at the age of 45.
