Alexandre Dumas Jr

When Armand Duvall meets Marguerite Cautier for the first time, he falls head over heels in love. It doesn't matter that Marguerite is a courtesan - and a way too expensive woman for an ordinary man like Armand. But Armand is not ready to give up. He is determined to win Marguerite's heart - at any cost. 'The Lady of the Camellias' is a novel by Alexandre Dumas Jr. It has been filmed into a movie several times.
The best known version is from 1936 and it stars Greta Garbo.
