Greta Garbo, plays the vulnerable young woman, who grows into a more sophisticated woman, that you will have high hopes for until the very end..<br /><br />Clark Gable, is not wearing his famous mustache, but once you get past that... he gives a good early performance.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09421976438809816553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-35462772892715246542013-02-10T18:33:37.168-05:002013-02-10T18:33:37.168-05:00Paul - Yes - Garbo fishes!

Garbo and Gable! Of course he made various screen couplings seem perfect and inevitable. Garbo must have sensed the animal magnetism in him and he must have tried to capture the iconic female essence in her.

WOW! (She had a great body!)<br />I hope you're having a great weekend.<br />PagePagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063277863578004836noreply@blogger.com
