The Kiss is a 1929 American silent drama film from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer directed by Jacques Feyder and starring Greta Garbo, Conrad Nagel and Lew Ayres in his first feature film. The film is known for being both MGM's and Greta Garbo's last silent film. It was also the last such film for Conrad Nagel. That said, the film did take advantage of the new sound technology, and was released with an orchestral score and sound effects. It was based on an 1896 film.

Irene (Greta Garbo) is a young woman unhappily married to an older gentleman; to add to her woes, she is in love with a young lawyer, André (Conrad Nagel).
