Garbo and Gilbert - The Beauty of Silence


This famous scene from `Flesh and the Devil (1926) is an exemplar of silent film art. No sound sequence could match its romantic intensity. Despite the intertitles, what makes the scene unforgettable is the way it depicts the moments for which there are no words; the times where the deepest communications occur in silence. Though we instinctively look to Garbo today, Gilbert was the more famous of the two when `Flesh and the Devil' was filmed. He was considered a master of the intense romantic moment, and he discovered just how important they were when sound arrived. Scenes such as this, when accompanied by hackneyed and unnecessary dialogue, completely lost their sense of intimacy. While it is often claimed that Gilbert's voice was unsuited to sound, it was in fact his persona that could not make the transition. Had he still been alive, Rudolph Valentino would probably have suffered the same fate. As Gilbert's star fell, Garbo's soared - perhaps because her natural reserve and the mystery behind her eyes proved as compelling as silence in any role, no matter the dialogue.

Greta Garbo


Greta Lovisa Gustafsson, aka Greta Garbo (1905 - 1990), was born in Sweden, and later became a US citizen in 1951. Many films she starred in, like "Mata Hari", "Camille", and "Ninotchka", are classics. Ms. Garbo stopped acting after WWII and began the life of a recluse at a 7-room apartment in New York City. Her beauty is legendary, and the way she wore her hat is especially memorable. PS: check out my other channel "SundroidHD": www.youtube.com or my website: www.shisun.net

Joyless Street - Viennese Love: Greta Garbo, Werner Krauss, Asta Nielsen (1925 Movie)


DVD: www.amazon.com thefilmarchived.blogspot.com Joyless Street (German: Die freudlose Gasse, 1925, exhibited in the US as The Street of Sorrow, in Britain as The Joyless Street), a film based on the novel by Hugo Bettauer and directed by Georg Wilhelm Pabst in France, is one of the first films of the "New Objectivity" movement. Greta Garbo stars in her second major role. The film is often described as a morality story in which the 'fallen woman' suffers for her sins, while the more virtuous is rewarded. In 1921 in the poor part of an Austrian town called Melchiorgasse there are only two wealthy people: the butcher Josef Geiringer and his wife. Mrs. Greifer runs a fashion boutique and a nightclub patronized by wealthy Viennese. Annexed to the nightclub is Merkl Hotel, a brothel to which the women of the nightclub bring their clients. The film follows the lives of two women from the same poor neighborhood as they try to better themselves during the period of Austrian postwar hyperinflation. They are Marie, who becomes a prostitute, and Grete who does not. At the finale Else kills the butcher because he will not give her meat. The poor of the neighborhood, hearing the sounds of the nightclub, revolt against the clients by throwing stones. The nightclub burns down killing two beggars. Only Grete seems to have any hope of leaving Melchiorgasse and this because of her relationship with an American Red Cross officer. Rotten Tomatoes reports per July 2010 that 83% of six sampled <b>...</b>

Moda Entertainment - Greta Garbo Interview with nephew Scott Riesfield


Listen to the interview on www.iconsradio.com "Garbo talks!" "Garbo laughs!" The clichés abound. "I vant to be alone" Not true, never said. Nor was MGM's publicity juggernaut hardly above the fray. As its 1926 publicity release demonstrates: "Greta Garbo, discovered in stark(?!?) Sweden, is setting the heart of America aflame." And yet, behind every cliché is a buried kernel. Greta Garbo did indeed set the heart of America aflame. From her first silent films: The Torrent and The Temptress, both in 1926, Garbo reigned. Her ability to convey emotion, inner turmoil, through her expression alone, signaled a new style of film acting (mirrored among male actors at the exact same moment by Gary Cooper). Garbo and Cooper were acting from the inside-out, letting their eyes reveal the inner truth. Decades later, this would become known as the Method, but Garbo and Cooper were first out of the starting gate. Which makes the fact that Cooper turned down Ninotchka opposite Garbo even more a shame. Cooper & Garbo in Ninotchka ... now there's a marquee. Garbo starred in so many films throughout the twenties and thirties: Flesh And The Devil Love The Kiss Anna Christie Mata Hari Grand Hotel The Painted Veil Anna Karenina Camille Queen Christina Ninotchka Each captures different aspects of her extraordinary screen presence. Yet, it is one of her lesser efforts that allowed Garbo to convey a myriad of emotions -- mystery, tragedy, humor. It's all there in Susan Lenox, Her Fall And Rise <b>...</b>

Greta Garbo (The Face) This video was inspired by my interest in classic cinema and in this screen legend. It has been said that "Garbo belongs to that moment in cinema when capturing the human face still plunged audiences into the deepest ecstasy...." A friend recently said that Garbo has "very sexy body language" and is "fascinating to watch"....Well, I couldn't agree more.

Greta Garbo. Et Pourtant ...


My small tribute to Greta Garbo! After Marlene, Garbo is my second favorite actress! I have long intended to devote my video to this divine woman , and finally did it. Nothing special, I only wanted that it were beautiful. For music, I immediately chose Mylene Farmer, because firstly, the lyrics of many of her songs suited to the image of Garbo, secondly, Mylene also a very big Garbos fan , and third, the most part of my life I'm admirer of creativity of this French singer. Her song, "Greta" wasnt considered by me at all. But I had to choose from other Mylene's songs , and even now I doubt in my choice.

The Starlet Series~Episode Two~1930's Greta Garbo Inspired Look


Here is episode two of the series, featuring the severe but elegant look of Greta Garbo. Keep in mind that sometimes I will over-dramaticize certain aspects of the look to make an impact on camera, such as the brows. If you were to re-create this look for a party or event, you would more than likely use a lighter shade for the brow. Enjoy! The products I used are basically the same ones I used in my Clara Bow tutorial. Thanks for Watching! A Blog Entry dedicated to Greta will be posted some time today. :) www.lisafremontpages.blogspot.com
