A Woman of Affairs (Original publicity portrait photograph of Greta Garbo for the 1928 film)

Beverly Hills, CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer [MGM], 1928. Vintage portrait photograph of Greta Garbo, taken to promote her appearance in the 1928 synchronized sound film "A Woman of Affairs."

"A Woman of Affairs" was based on the 1924 Michael Arlen novel "The Green Hat," a book so controversial that the film's producers attempted to eliminate all association with the source material, renaming both the main characters and the title, and removing all references to homosexuality, syphilis, and heroin.

8 x 10 inches. Very Good, moderately toned, with foxing on the verso.
