Garbo, by Joan Crawford

No star fell in love as often as Garbo did on the screen, but was she herself happy? 'I live in a corner. I am typically alone. I wish it could be otherwise, but it cannot.' This programme, narrated by Joan Crawford and first broadcast in 1969, looks at Garbo's art and life through her films. Extracts, courtesy of MGM, include Camille, Ninotchka, Queen Christina, Marie Walewska, Two-Faced Woman and Flesh and the Devil.
