Two Faced Woman Greta Garbo

Released December 31, 1941 
Directed by George Cukor

Tagline: Go Gay With Garbo!  
 

Originally titled The Twin Sister, this is the story of a woman who tries to win back her husband by posing as her own twin sister.  MGM reasoned that if Ernest Lubitsch could turn Garbo into a successful comedienne, then why not turn her into a modern woman? 

The weak plot was further hampered by Garbo's image in the film - drab costumes and contemporary hairstyles just wasn't Garbo.  The film was a complete flop upon release and many speculated as to whether or not it influenced Garbo's retirement from the screen. Today, the film can be seen as a fairly amusing comedy - it just lacks the magic of most Garbo films.
