An Original 1947 (from the first release of this movie in Denmark) Vintage Theatrical Folded Danish Movie Poster (measures 24 1/2" x 33 1/2" [62 x 85 cm]) (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 poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. There is tiny paper loss in the lower crossfold. There is minor fold and border wear. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well! Learn More about condition grades
