Commento e dialoghi in inglese / English narration & dialogue.<br />

La più ammirata <strong>del</strong>le attrici cinematografiche, Greta Garbo, ha<br />

condotto una vita così solitaria ed appartata che ha fatto impazzire di<br />

curiosità la stampa. Sono state inventate storie di ogni tipo e alcune di<br />

queste sono ancora in circolazione. Un fotografo l’ha pedinata per<br />

vent’anni. <strong>Le</strong>i odiava tutto ciò, ma siccome viveva a New York, e non<br />

in qualche remoto arcipelago <strong>del</strong>la Svezia, era considerata un bersaglio<br />

lecito. Interpretò personaggi regali ed aristocratici con una tale<br />

perfezione da far pensare che provenisse ella stessa da un ambiente<br />

privilegiato, ma in effetti era nata, a Stoccolma, da una famiglia <strong>del</strong>la<br />

classe operaia. Dalla sua passione per il teatro nacque l’entusiasmo<br />

per il cinema: uno dei suoi film preferiti era The Poor Little Rich Girl<br />

(Una povera bimba molto ricca), <strong>del</strong> 1917, con Mary Pickford. Si trovò<br />

di fronte alla macchina da presa già a 15 anni, quando fece dei film<br />

pubblicitari per il grande magazzino in cui lavorava. All’Accademia<br />

d’Arte Drammatica nacquero la sua amicizia con Mimi Pollak ed il<br />

rapporto più importante <strong>del</strong>la sua vita, quello con Mauritz Stiller,<br />

grazie al quale approdò a Hollywood.<br />

Attingendo liberamente ai film da lei interpreati per la MGM, questo<br />

documentario, commissionato per il suo centenario, ne racconta la<br />

straordinaria carriera – la coraggiosa disputa con Louis B. Mayer, la<br />

storia d’amore con John Gilbert – e include i provini per un film <strong>del</strong><br />

1949 (La Duchesse de Langeais), che non venne mai realizzato. Per la<br />

prima volta i familiari <strong>del</strong>l’attrice hanno accettato di farsi<br />

intervistare. Il programma comprende anche una rara intervista con<br />

Clarence Brown, il regista che girò più film con Greta Garbo di<br />

chiunque altro. – KEVIN BROWNLOW<br />

The most admired of all film actresses, Greta Garbo led a reclusive life<br />

which drove the press frantic with curiosity. They made up all sorts of<br />

stories, many of which survive to this day. One photographer stalked her<br />

for 20 years. Garbo hated all this, yet she lived in New York City, not in<br />

some remote archipelago in Sweden, so she was regarded as fair game.<br />

Garbo played regal and aristocratic roles with such perfection that<br />

people imagined she came from a privileged background. In fact, she<br />

was born to a working-class family in Stockholm. Out of a passion for<br />

the theatre came an enthusiasm for the cinema – a favourite film was<br />

The Poor Little Rich Girl (1917) with Mary Pickford. She was already<br />

acting before the camera at 15, making advertising films for the<br />

department store in which she worked.The Dramatic Academy brought<br />

her friendship with Mimi Pollak, and her most important relationship,<br />

with Mauritz Stiller. And it was thanks to Stiller that she went to<br />

Hollywood.<br />

This documentary was commissioned for Garbo’s centenary. Given free<br />

run of her MGM films, it chronicles her extraordinary career – her<br />

courageous fight with Louis B. Mayer, her love affair with John Gilbert –<br />

and includes tests for a 1949 film (La Duchesse de Langeais) which<br />

was never made. For the first time, Garbo’s family have agreed to be<br />

interviewed.The film also includes a rare interview with Clarence Brown,<br />

who made more Garbo films than anyone else. – KEVIN BROWNLOW<br />
