Garbo Talks (1984)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) But in this case it is Garbo, and her mystique permeates this film through her haunting absence, which lends Garbo Talks its beautiful sense of longing. Harvey Fierstein is brilliant in his understated portrayal of a gay man Gilbert meets on the ferry to Fire Island, where he hopes to find Garbo at her retreat. Garbo is played by the incomparable Betty Comden, who wrote such classics as Singin' in the Rain, Auntie Mame, Bells are Ringing, and the Barkley's of Broadway. www.imdb.com /title/tt0087313   (434 words)

Greta Garbo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Garbo was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for Anna Christie (1930), Romance (1930), Camille (1937) and Ninotchka (1939). Greta Garbo was considered one of the most glamorous movie stars of the 1920s and 1930s. It is often reported that Garbo chose to retire from cinema after this film's failure, but already by 1937 she was becoming more choosy about her roles, and eventually years passed without her agreeing to do another film. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Greta_Garbo   (1277 words)

It is often reported that Garbo chose to retire from cinema after this film's failure, but in fact she simply became more choosy about her roles, and eventually years had passed without her agreeing to do another film. In 1949, Garbo filmed a screen test as she considered reentering the movie business, but otherwise never stepped in front of a movie camera again. www.ftppro.com /library/Greta_Garbo   (1061 words)

Greta Garbo - The Ultimate Star - Timeline The Academy Award nominations are announced and Garbo is nominated for both Anna Christie and Romance.

Garbo, Greta Garbo's subsequent movies, among them Mata Hari (1932), Grand Hotel (1932), Queen Christina (1933), Anna Karenina (1935), Camille (1936), and Conquest (1937), won her a following that was almost a cult, and in Ninotchka (1939) she displayed an unexpected gift for comedy. Garbo retired after its release and became a near recluse, living mostly in New York City, refusing interviews or publicity of any kind. In 1955 she received a special Academy Award for her "series of luminous and unforgettable performances." Her insistence on complete privacy recalled a famous line from one of her films, usually quoted, though not quite accurately, as "I want to be alone," and helped make her a legend in her own time. search.eb.com /women/articles/Garbo_Greta.html   (346 words)

Amazon.com: Garbo Talks: DVD: Anne Bancroft,Ron Silver,Carrie Fisher,Catherine Hicks,Steven Hill,Howard Da ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) She also loves Garbo films: when she learns she has a brain tumor and six months to live, she decides she must meet Garbo. Her dutiful son Gilbert, a Manhattan accountant named for Garbo's co-star, hires a paparazzo to show him Garbo's flat, stakes it out, gets a job delivering food there, seeks her on Fire Island, and tracks her to a Sixth Avenue flea market. Bancroft is marvelous and the picture achieves a certain poignancy, despite some awful scenes: the ones with Silver and his wife and then his girlfriend after breaking up with his wife, and the kiss-off scene between Silver and his oily boss, are particularly corny and phony. www.amazon.com /Garbo-Talks-Anne-Bancroft/dp/B000087I16   (967 words)

Ninotchka - Movie Review A silent film star, Garbo caused a sensation when American audiences finally heard her voice ("Garbo talks!"). Ninotchka is one of Garbo's few comedies, and part of its success is because the script plays off of the actress' slightly stiff, very foreign demeanor. Not long after Ninotchka, Garbo retired abruptly at the top of her stardom and established her final reputation as a reclusive enigma. www.contactmusic.com /new/film.nsf/reviews/ninotchka   (482 words)

The Biography Channel - Greta Garbo Biography Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios hired Stiller, who brought Garbo with him, even though Louie B. Mayer was unimpressed by her.

Anna Christie (1930) Anna Christie (1930) was advertised, in a two-word ad campaign, as the first talking picture (and 14th film) for cinema's greatest silent star - an asexual, supercool Nordic beauty named Greta Garbo: "Garbo Talks!" MGM Studios was quite concerned about their alluring, 24 year-old talented actress. The role Garbo would play, a sickly prostitute, would be in sharp contrast to the glamorous characters she had already played in silent films. In 1984, a film directed by Sidney Lumet, titled Garbo Talks (1984), used this film's slogan in a story about a woman whose dying wish was to meet her screen idol Garbo. www.filmsite.org /anna.html   (462 words)

FILM: 'GARBO TALKS,' DIRECTED BY SIDNEY LUMET - New York Times QUITE early in Sidney Lumet's sentimental new comedy, ''Garbo Talks,'' Anne Bancroft as Estelle Rolfe, the last word in Jewish mothers in contemporary film literature, learns that she has an inoperable brain tumor. Most of ''Garbo Talks,'' which opens today at Loews New York Twin and other theaters, is about Gilbert's adventures in and around New York in his search for the actress, who has been in retirement for more than four decades. Playing this Garbo, almost as a stand-in, is Nina Zoe, though everybody who cares about the Broadway theater will recognize Betty Comden, who plays the Garbo figure in the film's final, very funny moments. query.nytimes.com /gst/fullpage.html?res=9801E4DB1639F931A25753C1A962948260   (600 words)

Videodetective.com - GARBO TALKS TRAILER PAGE Though his wife yearns to move back to her home state of California, Gilbert cannot quite cut the silver cord that binds him to his mother. The rest of the film plays wonderful variations on this theme, involving such peripheral characters as a gay Garbo fan (Harvey Fierstein), an elderly Shakespearean actress (Hermione Gingold), a female Joe Papp director (Denny Dillon), and an ageing papparazzi (Howard Da Silva).
