Greta Garbo's personal favorite of all her films.
Many people found Greta Garbo's process as an actress inscrutable, though no one questioned it because the results spoke for themselves. Her habit was to work out a performance ahead of time in private as much as possible. Too many eyes on her in front of the camera made her uneasy. As George Cukor once explained, "[Garbo] said that when she was acting she had some sort of an ideal picture in her mind - something she was creating - and she never saw the rushes because she was always disappointed in what she saw. But she said while she was acting she could imagine certain things and if she saw people just off the set staring at her, she felt like an ass, like somebody with a lot of paint on her face making faces. It stopped her imagination."
The only memento of Hollywood kept by Greta Garbo was a pair of Adrian-designed kid gloves from this film. White leather, they were beaded with an ivy leaf pattern that spelled out her initials "G.G." over and over.
Greta Garbo wore bedroom slippers under all her fancy dresses so she could be comfortable, as well as more naturalistic in her acting.
The scene early on in which Marguerite kisses Armand all over his face was Greta Garbo's idea.
"Armand: Don't you believe in love, Marguerite? Marguerite: I don't think I know what it is. Armand: Oh, thank you. Marguerite: For what? Armand: For never having been in love."
"Marguerite: It's you. It's not a dream. Armand: No, it's not a dream. I'm here with you in my arms, at last. Marguerite: At last. Armand: You're weak. Marguerite: No, no. Strong. It's my heart. It's not used to being happy."
