I don't know if that was the right vehicle for her to come back (shades of one of Garbo's films called THE KISS which is very Hitchcokian; the role went to Alida Valli) but I'm sorta glad she didn't. Her mystic was preserved. Besides, Garbo complained that the only roles available were playing mothers or murderers. lolPEPLUM cinemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00052922198741178249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851593288215620717.post-51935463845000117922012-11-19T09:57:21.010+00:002012-11-19T09:57:21.010+00:00Good to hear from another Garbo devotee.

I wonder if her planned comebacks would have worked .... ?Michael O'Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17820802843771524920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851593288215620717.post-23047682807688314132012-11-19T02:58:53.793+00:002012-11-19T02:58:53.793+00:00Garbo is my favorite actor, male or female, of all...Garbo is my favorite actor, male or female, of all time. She's enigmatic and sometimes magical. I have all her films except for Torrent. I think she's great in PAINTED VEIL but it sorta suffers from the same problems in several of her films: a bland male co-star. I saw the Naomi Watts one and it doesn't even compare. My favorite overlooked Garbo film is INSPIRATION. Great, subtle performance. PEPLUM cinemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00052922198741178249noreply@blogger.com
