An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Temptress, the 1926 Fred Niblo & Mauritz Stiller silent South America romantic melodrama ("from the Novel by Vicente Blasco Ibanez"; filmed in the Mojave Desert, which stood in for the South American setting in the movie) starring Greta Garbo, Antonio Moreno, Marc McDermott, Lionel Barrymore, H.B. Warner, Armand Kaliz, and Roy D'Arcy. Mauritz Stiller was the Swedish director who came to the U.S. with Garbo, and he clashed with the MGM executives. He was fired ten days into production, and was replaced by Fred Niblo, and they are co-credited as the directors. Note that there are two things really interesting about this movie! The first is that the movie has a sad ending, and apparently, when Louis B. Mayer saw it, he was shocked, and had them film a new "happy" ending, and ordered that theaters be given the choice of showing the happy version or the sad version! Second, all of the original advertising for this movie prominently bills H.B. Warner as one of Garbo's lovers. Yet, all the major online databases do not mention Warner at all! Does that mean that his part was cut out of the movie (either before it was released or at a later time)? If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Important Added Info: Note that this still has three punch holes in the top border, so it could be a key book still, or someone could have just put those punch holes there. Condition: very good. There are three punch holes in the top border (see above), and someone put reinforcing stickers on the back of each punch hole. There is a tiny tear in the middle of the right blank border and a faint partial thumbnail crease in the middle right of the image background, but it is mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. Otherwise, the still is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
