Ordered by an invading army to surrender their firearms, the liberty-loving mountaineers of a Swiss village capitulate only through the efforts of their pastor. Marcus Paltram, however, a reckless hunter, defies the order. Though loved by Ciglia, who is also sought by Lorenz Gruber, Marcus is obsessively adored by Pia, a wild mountain girl, who hates Ciglia and awaits an opportunity to separate her from Marcus. At a masquerade party in the village inn, Ciglia invites him home in a drunken state; Pia, in disguise, follows and makes him a victim of her wiles. Later, when Pia's mother demands that justice be done to her daughter, Marcus disconsolately marries her, while Ciglia and Gruber soon marry. During a storm, Marcus is endangered, and Pia persuades the villagers to go on a rescue expedition. Infuriated by his wife's continuing love for Marcus, Gruber offers Marcus a bribe to leave the village. Marcus spurns the proposition and is forced to shoot Gruber in self-defense. Accused of murder, Marcus flees into the mountains with Ciglia. Resolving never again to be separated, they walk into the path of an avalanche.

Pretty people in a Lubitsch silent, 21 November 2005
Author: Kg from New York City

The problem with silent films, often, is that techniques or stories that seemed innovative at the time are old-hat and clichéd by the time a modern audience sees them. While the story of "Eternal Love" falls into that category of cliché--if you can't tell what's going to happen next at any given moment, you haven't seen enough movies--it's redeemed by its sets, its performances, and its director.
Those familiar with John Barrymore from his talking-picture roles, when mostly he was playing a caricature of himself, will be taken aback at his handsome intensity (except when he's wearing too much make-up). The two female leads, Camilla Horn and Mona Rico, are beautiful as well, although of the ice-queen and the lusty peasant varieties: Horn is like a Raphael Madonna, while Rico is more of a Caravaggio.
So, Barrymore loves Horn, while Rico lusts for Barrymore--and poor Victor Varconi moons after Horn in the background. Just as Horn gets her guardian's consent to a marriage with Barrymore, however, strong drink and a willing woman trap Barrymore into a marriage with Rico. (It is somehow unsurprising that strong drink should be Barrymore's downfall.) Varconi gets to comfort the grieving Horn--but how will it all end? Well, badly.
Along the way, however, Lubitsch manages some nice comic touches--especially at a village carnivale, to which Barrymore wears a pair of checked bell-bottoms that would have been at home in Haight-Ashbury during the Summer of Love. And he gets terrific performances out of his actors, especially Varconi, who throws a wonderful sidelong glance at Barrymore during the trapped man's nuptial procession. Varconi and Horn also have some terrific moments when Horn betrays her still-burning love for Barrymore after she learns he's missing in a mountain blizzard.
The movie is short and the scenery is magnificent, so if the prospect of some big stars in their prime isn't enough, there's plenty to fall back on!

It's subtle AND it's breast-heaving, 28 February 2002
Author: t from Los Angeles

I saw this screened at the Bay City/Saginaw show, and although I was skeptical and even jaded about it while I was watching it, the imagery, the atmosphere, and the intensity of the subject (not to mention of the performances) provided me with my most powerful memories of the festival. Barrymore is not a dapper figure here, but his appeal and his talent for projecting smoldering fire is 100% intact. He is ably abetted by the angelic blonde, Camilla Horn, and the fiery, wildly uninhibited Mona Rico (a late silent discovery quickly forgotten, but who does turn up dancing a bit in John Carroll's ZORRO serial.) Horn is a delicate beauty suspiciously strung together with steel wire, while Rico goes some lengths to out-spitfire Lupe Velez, and does she ever wear a jacket? Rico's character is sooooo hot, that she is hardly ever seen wearing costuming that can contain her writhing, lusting, scheming torso. That she is supported in her efforts every step of the way by her mother is no vote for quality parenting, not by any stretch of the imagination, and Heaven help poor John. Poor, poor John. There is something about physical attraction in silent cinema, it can be obvious, nostril-flaring, eye-popping (or, as in the case of Miss Rico, breast-heaving) but when it's subtle, as with Barrymore and Horn, it can scorch the screen along with your eyes and imaginations. They are met subtlety for subtlety by the second male lead, handsome Victor Varconi, a fine actor often underused in the talking era, and are matched in color by Hobart Bosworth as Horn's Reverend father, and Bodil Rosing as their housekeeper. Evelyn Selbie, who portrays Mona Rico's horrible hag of a mother, seems to have had quite a career playing mothers in the Silents, and parlayed such roles into lesser talking picture assignments such as "Screaming woman" or "Immigrant woman," or "Tenement Woman."

Astonishing masterpiece - you must see this film!, 20 April 2002
Author: Da from Canberra, Australia

Ernst Lubitsch was one of the great masters of cinema - and his silent films are every bit as good as his talkies.
ETERNAL LOVE is one of the most passionate and moving love stories I have ever seen - with an ending that made me gasp.
John Barrymore gives one of his best ever performances here, and I now understand why he was considered such a matinee idol. Camilla Horn is also extraordinary, and possesses a rare and fragile beauty. In fact all the performances are great.
Silent films convey the passion of love so much more convincingly than most talkies. Somehow words often make this sort of intense passion comical on the screen. But here, with a divine original music score, the love is magical. Lubitsch had his "touch" in drama as much as in comedy. SEE THIS FILM!!!

ETERNAL LOVE is a real find!, 9 July 2001
Author: t from Asheville NC

It has only been in recent years that some of Ernst Lubitsch's silent films have become available on video. They prove that "the man with the golden touch" certainly had it before his more famous films of the 30's and 40's. I was unfamiliar with ETERNAL LOVE until this VHS/DVD incarnation and based on the few reviews I had seen I wasn't expecting much. Imagine my surprise and delight when I found myself totally captivated. I thought the four principals all gave fine performances (especially John Barrymore) and the photography (shot in the Canadian Rockies) was some of the best I've seen in an American silent film. The ending ,while not unexpected, still managed to have a terrific impact. Of the 3 Lubitsch silents I have seen (THE STUDENT PRINCE IN OLD HEIDELBERG and THE MARRIAGE CIRCLE are the other 2), this one tops the list. My thanks to the UCLA Film and Television Archive and to Milestone Films for making it available on video.

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
'Eternal Love' stars John Barrymore in semi-swashbuckling mode with the beautiful Camilla Horn. This is one of those late silent films that were released with soundtracks consisting of music and sound effects. In 'Eternal Love', several gunshots are heard at climactic moments ... but they're all pathetic little popgun sounds. Still, in 1929 *any* sound that emerged from the movie screen must have thrilled audiences. This film is directed by the great Ernst Lubitsch, though several of his other movies from this period are much better.

The story begins in 1806, when France and Austria are "at each other's throats" (as a title card ludicrously claims), and the Swiss village of Pontresina is caught in the middle. The French military officers demand that all men in the village surrender their weapons ... and all the men immediately do so (I found this wildly implausible) except for Marcus Paltram (Barrymore), who is clearly supposed to be the only 'real man' in the village. Marcus is in love with the beautiful blonde Ciglia (Horn), who lives with her uncle the minister (good performance from Hobart Bosworth). Marcus's bitter rival is Lorenz Gruber, played by Victor Varconi (a handsome and talented silent-film actor who usually played unsympathetic roles). Marcus is pursued by Pia, a dark peasant girl whose desire for him is frankly carnal.
After setting up an intriguing premise, with the peaceful Swiss villagers living under French military occupation, this is dropped by the second reel and never mentioned again. The villagers throw a masked ball, with surprisingly elaborate costumes and masks. With bludgeon-heavy symbolism, Pia's mask gives her the face of a crone, while Ciglia's mask depicts a woman's face with exaggerated beauty. After the ball, Marcus makes a drunken pass at Ciglia; in a moment of anger, she spurns him. Marcus does the gentlemanly thing, and leaves ... only to run into Pia, and they end up in his bed together. (So that Barrymore's character remains sympathetic, the film clearly establishes that she seduces him, not the other way round.)
SPOILERS COMING. The film degenerates into soap opera. Pia's mother demands that Marcus marry Pia. This enables Lorenz to marry Ciglia. When he realises that she still loves Marcus, Lorenz tries to murder his rival. Eventually, Marcus and Ciglia flee into the Alps, where Ciglia prays to God to let the two of them die together. God obliges with a friendly avalanche. (I really dislike films in which God takes an active hand in the proceedings: if that's the way the universe works, then why doesn't God do this more often?)
'Eternal Love' features some splendid photography. Especially noteworthy in this movie (filmed in California but set in Switzerland) are some superb glass-shots to create the Swiss Alps in the background. An early sequence which allegedly takes place up in the mountains looks more like it was filmed in Bronson Canyon ... in the same spot where they filmed 'Robot Monster'. Barrymore is good in his role, but this is one of those movies in which every supporting male character is depicted as a spineless wimp so that the male lead is both the most macho character and the most principled character. (I cringed during the scene in the tavern, when Barrymore helps himself to several other men's drinks ... and not a man in the place has the guts to challenge him, not even in a group.) Still, the good points in this film outweigh the bad. I'll rate 'Eternal Love' 6 points out of 10. Yodel-lay-he-hoo!
Great Lubitsch/Barrymore silent, 22 October 2009
Author: c from United States

I'm pretty familiar with Barrymore's silent work, but other than "Lady Windemere's Fan" I had never seen a silent Lubitsch film before. It was not what I was expecting and that does not mean I was unpleasantly surprised. Lubitsch is well known for his unique "touch", and in my experience of watching his sound films that meant incorporating clever dialogue with insinuation. Without the power of speech, this Lubitsch silent film has all of the power of one of his talking films by using facial expression and some well-placed props.
Barrymore plays a hunter who is basically a loner who is in love with Ciglia, the niece of the town priest. How two such different people could fall in love is not shown in the film, but early on they do declare their love to one another, the occupying French army is driven from the area, and all seems to be well. The problem is that there is a wild girl of the village that has her heart set on capturing Barrymore by any means. Compounding difficulties is a respectable but bland fellow who also loves Ciglia and wants to marry her. These two rivals can't seem to understand that love can't be bought and it can't be trapped. The French being driven from the town is the cause of a great celebration that involves a masked ball and a great deal of liquor. It is this celebration that sets off a series of catastrophes for the young lovers.
What really stood out for me in this film were the very few intertitles used. The film really doesn't need them. Remember that 1929 was the last year that silent films were being made in the U.S. with the exception of a few holdouts like Murnau and Chaplin. It's interesting to look at this film and then compare it to "The Love Parade", a Lubitsch sound film made at the end of the same year - 1929. It is so sophisticated in its technique you'd think Lubitsch had been making sound films for ten years. His special touch was not hindered by the coming of sound - he didn't miss a step.
