Summary: Eva has just gotten married to

for passion. She becomes despondent and leaves him,
returning to her father's house. One day while bathing
in the lake she meets a young man and they fall in
love. The husband has become grief stricken at the
loss of his young bride, and fate brings him together
with the young lover that has taken Eva from him.
Comments:
Hedy
Lamarr Bares All. First, let's get the "hoopla"
out of the way.Hedy Lamarr was regarded as one of
the most beautiful of women and the movies were a
perfect medium for the many to see her beauty on screen.Here
we have Hedy as a young fresh-faced 20 year old speaking
in her native Austrian.I recently bought a 1990 uncensored
version of this 1932/3 classic.Yes we see a brief
close up of Hedy bare from the waist up but although
she filmed the swimming & runaway horse scenes
naked, the director Gustav Machaty uses the cover
of branches, reflections in puddles, medium and long
shots to show her thus in this famous scene.
