The Garden of Eden (1927)
Made under a Caddo releasing agreement with Universal Pictures, The Garden of Eden, a sophisticated variation on the Cinderella story, was adapted by screenwriter Hans Kraly.
It resembles, in both script and visual production, the works of Ernst Lubitsch.
The project benefited from the lavish sets designed by William Cameron Menzies and the cinematography of John Arnold.
The film stars the popular Corinne Griffith.
Milestone’s direction of Two Arabian Knights and The Garden of Eden established him as a practitioner of “rough and sophisticated” comedy.
