Michelle Sullivan as Garbo

The film was made and premiered in New York City at the Film Forum in  17th of Nov. 1989.  It was never on TV.   It is a 45 minute black & white film which chronicles Garbo's rise to stardom in a more abstract and symbolic way--a more semiotic approach. More Info   HERE!
