Auction History Result 5m977 TWO-FACED WOMAN deluxe 10x13 still 1941 Swedish Sphinx Greta Garbo dancing rhumba by Bull! Date Sold 4/8/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 10" x 13" [25 x 33 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Two-Faced Woman, the 1941 George Cukor romantic deception screwball comedy ("Go Gay with Garbo!"; "When rivals meet... Face to face!"; about a woman who fears she is losing her husband, so she poses as her twin sister with a different outgoing personality, in a strange attempt to win her husband back!) starring Greta Garbo ("Her first picture since 'Ninotchka'"), Melvyn Douglas, Constance Bennett, Roland Young, Robert Sterling, Ruth Gordon, and Robert Alton. Note that after 15 years of major success in romantic melodramas, MGM wanted to change Garbo's image (likely because with the onset of the U.S. involvement in World War II, they could not distribute their movies widely in Europe, where Garbo had the greatest appeal). They had the disastrous idea of putting her in a screwball romantic comedy. Had it had a wonderful script by Samson Raphaelson, and directed by Ernst Lubitsch, it might have worked well, but instead it had a really not-well-thought-out script that seemed more suited to a B-movie. It did terribly at the box office, and Miss Garbo completely retired from movies, and never made another! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of seven deluxe stills from this movie that we are auctioning, in seven separate auctions. Our consignor tells us that these were all taken by Clarence Sinclair Bull, but none of them are identified in that way (although we have no reason to doubt our consignor). Note that this still measures 10" x 13" [25 x 33 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: very good.
