An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Argentinean Movie Poster (21x29; measures 21 1/2" x 29" [55 x 74 cm]) (Learn More) Greta Garbo was a legendary romantic Swedish actress from the 1924 to 1941 (she retired at the age of 35, still extremely popular, and lived in seclusion for many decades afterwards, living by her trademark expression, "I want to be alone"). Almost all other major leading ladies of the mid 1920s had their careers diminished or ruined by the coming of sound, but not Garbo, all the more remarkable because she was not native English-speaking and she had a strong accent. She first rose to prominence in a movie in her native Sweden, and then attracted the interest of Hollywood, but she would only sign a contract if they would sign her director as well, and MGM agreed! Some of her movies include: Ninotchka (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Queen Christina, Grand Hotel, Anna Christie (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Romance (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and Camille (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film). Garbo passed away in 1990 at the age of 84. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this cool Argentinean poster! Note that this is a stock poster printed by MGM for use by Argentinean theaters that were showing their Greta Garbo movies in the early 1930s. Theaters would order this poster, which had a large blank area at the bottom. Sometimes the studio would overprint the stock poster with the title and credits of a specific movie, and sometimes the posters were blank at the bottom. Most collectors consider them more valuable with an overprinted bottom area. This poster was likely never used, so the bottom area is still blank. Also 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 to fine. The poster has the most minor of fold and border wear and has survived in as nice condition as one could possibly hope! Learn More about condition grades
