Note that this was Greta Garbo's first American movie, and the only time she did not get top billing! Also note that Mauritz Stiller, who had directed Garbo's Swedish movies, was intended to direct this movie, but MGM insisted on using their own director, Monta Bell.

Important Added Info: Note that over the years, we have seen many stills showing Greta Garbo from her earlier movies, where those images were used to promote her later movies. But we feel that this still IS from 1926, because it has a long paragraph printed on the back, describing this, Miss Garbo's first movie, and everything about it reads as being written in 1926, including "Miss Garbo is a beautiful Swedish girl who charmed Scandinavian audiences with her loveliness and ability for the last two years". The person who wrote what is on the back of the still closed with "truly, a new star has risen in Screenland's firmament", and they were spot on with that observation! Condition: good to very good.
