Date Sold 12/20/2022Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 9 3/4" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Ibanez' Torrent, the 1926 Monta Bell silent romantic melodrama (based on the novel 'Entre Naranjos' by Vincent Blasco-Ibanez; about a Spanish peasant girl who falls in love with her rich landlord's son, and the father forbids their getting together; she goes off to Paris and becomes an opera star, and returns home, and refuses to reunite with her boyfriend, even after he rescues her from a giant flood, which gives the movie its title) starring Ricardo Cortez, Greta Garbo, Gertrude Olmstead, Edward Connelly, and Lucien Littlefield. Note that this was Greta Garbo's first American movie, and the only time she did not get top billing! Also note that Mauritz Stiller, who had directed Garbo's Swedish movies, was intended to direct this movie, but MGM insisted on using their own director, Monta Bell. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that when Greta Garbo came from Sweden with Mauritz Stiller, she barely spoke any English at all! This was not a problem in 1926, because movies were silent, but likely MGM knew that it was just a matter of time before the arrival of sound movies, and this great still shows Greta Garbo practicing English with Sven Borg, who was her "interpreter", but who also gave her English lessons! Also note that this still measures 8" x 9 3/4" [20 x 25 cm], but it does not appear to be trimmed. Condition: good to very good. The still is rippled in the left, top, and right, caused by the snipe glued to the back. There are three small tears in the top boder that were repaired with tape from the back. There is a jagged line of unevenness to the emulsion across much of the bottom of the image, but it is mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light (it is not even visible in our digital image).
