Directed by Clarence Brown

Approx. 96 min. 35mm.


Reckless widow Greta Garbo—inhabiting a mansion “decorated in High Zigzag”—dallies with John Gilbert and shaver Doug Fairbanks Jr., in this adaptation of Michael Arlen’s steamy bestseller The Green Hat—so notorious that the title had to be changed and V.D. eliminated from the plot.
