What becomes a screen legend most? The words of Richard Schickel, film critic extraordinaire. Here, he turns his attention to Greta Garbo and tells both the story of her stellar career and her mysterious exit from the movies.
Greta Garbo A Life In Film Movie Greats eBook Richard Schickel
An amazing book on an amazing commercialised persona, this book unwraps the success of MGm's 'second grade' films with Greta Garbo as the main lead during the 30s and into the war. With a brilliant scalpel the author unravels the little ness of the actress, her films, her acting skills, her walking alone and her desires to have big company. In the latter the icon failed. This book needs to be read for how film after film the same formula of the story line is repeated to a captive audience that grew up on them and the character who is lonesome and is either pursued or pursues love or honour. She is running away far and wide. The text is a scathing hammer and sickle on the Greta Garbo whose face was commercialised by photography, cinema and her audiences. Her stay and departure were like the glistening of the falling star. Being pedantic the book supports the argument by quoting from the celebrities like Roland Barthes and Susan Sontag the two social critics and many more film critics and those connected with films then, but forgotten now.Product details
