A Linenbacked Commercial REPRODUCTION Poster (made to be sold directly to the public; measures 44 1/2" x 62 3/4" [113 x 159 cm]) (Learn More) A Woman of Affairs, the 1928 Clarence Brown romantic love triangle melodrama ("From the story by Michael Arlen"; the source novel was VERY daring for its time, in that it concerns a woman whose family breaks up her romance with the man she loves, and she marries a man she doesn't love, only to have him commit suicide on their wedding night because he has syphilis; she then becomes promiscuous herself, trying to "save his reputation" by making it seem that he killed himself because of her promiscuity; this was too daring for MGM, and they changed it so that the husband committed suicide because he was an embezzler, but they keep the part of Garbo becoming promiscuous, which doesn't have the same meaning, but they add in that she pays off her deceased husband's debts, incurred by his embezzling!) starring John Gilbert, Greta Garbo, Lewis Stone, Johnny Mack Brown (billed as "John Mack Brown"), and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. (19 years old and fifth billed, but he had been in lots of movies in the past seven years, thanks to his famous dad!). Note that many feel that this is surely Greta Garbo's best silent movie (it had a musical score and sound effects, but was basically a silent movie), and many call it her best movie period. It certainly was a very daring role, and only Garbo could have made her character both believable and sympathetic! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster is an exact REPRODUCTION of the original Swedish poster (except it has been "blown up" to approximately 1 1/2 times its original size), except it has a tiny "c Vintage Arte" in the bottom right (to the right of the word "STOCKHOLM"). It has no small writing in added white borders. We don't know when it was created, but we are guessing the 1980s. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
