Love (1927)

Anna Karenina (Greta Garbo) is married to a wealthy man in Russia during the czarist era. She falls in love with Vronsky (John Gilbert), a military man, but her husband Karenin (Brandon Hurst) refuses to grant her a divorce. Anna leaves Karenin and her child Seresha (Philippe de Lacy) to become Vronsky's mistress. Vronsky eventually wants to return to his military career, and Anna fears that she is losing him. With no other options available to her, Anna realizes that she has nothing to return to or to look forward to after Vronsky leaves, and so she throws herself in front of a train at the railway station.
