| My sister thinks the little old ladies next door nicked it, to teach us a lesson for not bringing our bin back in as soon as the garbo leaves. |
|
| Then, believe it or not, I worked for some time as a garbo, collecting the rubbish in the wee hours of the morning. |
|
| The priest would bring salvation while the garbo took the rubbish. |
|
| You can almost picture the Tin Lizzies and Packards lining up in front of the theater for the latest Gable or Garbo movie. |
|
| Her passion seems instinctual, more like the weary empathy of Garbo, inseparable from her being. |
|
| Back in the middle 1930s the stars of the silver screen were goddesses, such as Greta Garbo. |
|

|
| If you're at all interested in silent films or Greta Garbo, buy this collection. |
|
| At first glance, it would seem that the decision to cast the luminous Greta Garbo as the homely Christina is Hollywood historical revisionism at its most overt. |
|
| That act, like those moments from Garbo, Gish, and Brooks, suggests a vein of contrariness and complication, the astonishments of art. |
|
| Garbo emerged from D-Day as the greatest double-agent of the war, perhaps of all time. |
|
| Greta Garbo played tragic lovers, exotic temptresses and steely heroines. |
|
| It was as if Garbo had shorn her hair and entered a nunnery. |
|
| No one since Garbo has been so deft at ducking fans, especially most of the writers and critics prophesizing with their pens. |

|
| Greta Garbo played tragic lovers, exotic temptresses and steely heroines, anchoring many mediocre melodramas and haughty period pieces like a pro. |

|
| Truly spoilt, Bob is afforded more closeups than Garbo at her peak, a jolly Routemaster excursion, even deeply silly cat's-eye POV shots that distract from the generally featherheaded depiction of life below the poverty line. |
|
| By 1922 and only three years before her arrival in the US Garbo starred in her first motion picture, where she played a bathing beauty. |
