John Gilbert wrestles with Greta Garbo on the set of ‘Flesh and the Devil’, directed by Clarence Brown, 1926

John Gilbert was cast in the bad film West of Broadway, 1931— in the hope that Gilbert’s contract could then be broken

“People—just people—put the stamp of disapproval on Jack Gilbert’s voice. They thought it didn’t match his personality. Was this true? I remember it being vibrant, alive—like he was. It is true that his onscreen diction was overly precise and made him sound pedantic at times, but this could have been overcome. But when the fan magazines wrote that he was doomed, Jack began to believe that he was. The fear of failure robbed him of the most necessary thing for an actor—his ego. Without it, he was lost.”
Norma Shearer
