Flesh and the Devil

Greta Garbo, Barbara Kent, George Fawcett, John Gilbert (starring)
Clarence Brown (director)
Hermann Sudermann (novel)
Benjamin Glazer, Marian Ainslee (screenwriters)

N.p. N.p., Circa 1926. Two vintage reference photographs from the 1926 silent film, one showing actress Barbara Kent with a horse-drawn carriage, the other showing Kent with actor George Fawcett. Mimeo snipes on the versos.

The first of many pairings of legendary on-screen (and real life) couple John Gilbert and Greta Garbo, and a turning point in the latter's career, as the success of the film would give her the leverage to become one of the highest paid actress in Hollywood after a contract dispute with MGM.

10 x 8 inches. Very Good plus, with light toning on both photographs, and small creases on the top left corners.

National Film Registry.
