The similarities are the love scenes, Armand's humiliation of Margherite, the intervention of the father and Margherite's death. Reminds me hugely of La traviata, as the story is very similar. I love Camille, it is beautiful, and Greta Garbo was the movie.

That's because "La Traviata" is actually based on the novel "La Dame aux Camelias" by Alexandre Dumas, fils, which is also the basis for CAMILLE.

Of course it reminds you of La Traviata. They both have the same Dumas source.
