Preceded by: Edgar Bergen in "The Office Scandal" (1930, 9 mins, B&W, 35mm). The first sound-on-disc Garbo vehicle-that is, with music score and sound effects; "Garbo Talks!" would have to wait until the next year's Anna Christie-A Woman of Affairs features one of her finest performances. Many of Garbo's early films carry a feminist punch (couched in scandal) that was lost altogether in later Hollywood romances. In this "lost generation" story, based on Michael Arlen's novel The Green Hat, Garbo plays an aristocratic Englishwoman who acts out with calculated recklessness. Arlen's book was so hot that the characters' names, as well as some choice elements of the story, were changed in the film to protect the censors. But the film remains quite complex in its relationships, with John Gilbert as the love interest and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. as Garbo's wastrel brother.
