Torrent (1926). Romantic/drama/silent film, directed by Monta Bell. Based on a novel by Vicente Blasco Ibanez.
Torrent was the first American film starring Swedish actress Greta Garbo. The film also starred Ricardo Cortez.
The title refers to a flood that occurs in the small town where most of the action takes place, which brings the couple together.
Fun fact:
Joel McCrea doubled for Greta Garbo in a horse-riding scene.
