Description

The Divine Woman (MGM, 1928). Austrian Poster (48" X 71.5").
Sadly a "lost" film, The Divine Woman teams the great silent director Victor Sjostrom with the great Greta Garbo in a drama about an impoverished but ambitious woman who goes to Paris to find fame as an actress, only to be torn between the devotions of two very different men. Garbo in repose is the subject of this sublime Austrian poster, with a vivid contrast between red and blue drapery. Although no complete prints of The Divine Woman are known to exist; a single reel of the eight-reel feature (9 minutes in length) was discovered in a Moscow archive in 1993 and is available on the TCM Garbo Silent collection. Fold wear was the only appreciable condition problem on this gorgeous poster, which has been addressed with professional restoration. Very Fine on Linen.
