A Woman of Affairs marks the third pairing of on-and off-screen lovers Greta Garbo and John Gilbert, and is based on the 1924 bestseller "The Green Hat". Garbo plays an elegant woman who's forbidden by her family to marry Gilbert, a suave aristocrat, and so instead marries a loser who turns out to be a crook. After his death, she reunites with a now-married Gilbert, setting off an explosive and tragic spiral of events. A Woman Of Affairs is the first of almost twenty films in which Garbo's wardrobe was designed by Adrian (the costumier behind classics like The Wizard Of Oz and Camille).
Dir. Clarence Brown, 1928, 35mm, 91 min.
