Garbo

If you want a fairly detailed bio on Garbo, this is a great addition to your DVD library. Fantastic clips of home movies as well as her movies. Especially like the Gilbert/Garbo pieces. You can really understand the chemistry between the two superstars. It follows Garbo from her beginnings, through clips, all closely narrated, through the end of her life. I really like at they did not use a lame "actress" to narrate and did not use close-ups of a useless talking head. The whole DVD is relevant. Well worth the purchase

Very interesting insight to Garbo the person. Especially the family members and friends, Not the fans, that were interviewed all very well done held my interest for the entire program

First I saw Garbo in "The Saga of Gosta Berling" broadcast on television. Had never seen her perform before but had heard about her all my life. Then, I saw some of her silent films which led me to read two biographies about her and, more importantly, the era in which she worked. It was very enlightening because I could clearly see how the industry developed and what happened to the art form when the decency codes were enacted. This video biography fills in many details that are only alluded to in the books. It is well made and I would advise seeing it after reading the Swenson biography, which was far superior to the other I read.

Great DVD.Only if it had subtitles it would be excellent.I understand almost everythingBut there are a few words that, for me, need subtitle. ( I speak spanish).Garbo has nothing to do with that.She is one of the Greatest stars.

A glorious compilation of brilliant clips of the divine greta. Lovingly narrated by julie christie but despite insightful reflections by friends and colleagues, greta remains a mystery.

Great documentary with such music by Carl Davis. Undoubtedly the best doc on Garbo ever!Thanks to TCM and the riveval of her classic silent pictures as well!!From a french admirer!O.C

I love old movies! Thank you specially GARBO. I am glad you have such a grate Library of old movies I'll be visiting your web again.
