If you’ve ever wanted to watch a rigidly square peg try to slink into a round hole, then Two-Faced Woman is the film for you! It’s not that Greta Garbo couldn’t do comedy, she’s a sensation in Ninotchka, but that film built humor around her dour, serious iconography and found a sly way to subvert that image. Two-Faced Woman asks Garbo to become Irene Dunne or Carole Lombard, and that’s j... read more

(OK) Greta is a bit tired and old for her stardom. Bennett is repectful of Greta but coild better than this. More frivolous than romantic...The musical number is ok

Idaho ski instructor Karin (Greta Garbo) marries vacationing New York City magazine editor Larry (Melvyn Douglas), convincing him to leave his hectic life behind. When Larry decides to return to the Big Apple for a few days, however, she refuses to accompany him. But Larry doesn't return when expected, so Karin secretly travels to New York City, where she catches him flirting with an old flame. Jealous, she intervenes, posing as her twin sister, Katherine, in an attempt to keep him faithful.

Two-Faced Woman

“If you’ve ever wanted to watch a rigidly square peg try to slink into a round hole, then Two-Faced Woman is the film for you! It’s not that Greta Garbo couldn’t do comedy, she’s a sensation in Ninotchka, but that film built humor around her dour, serious iconography and found a sly way to subvert that image. Two-Faced Woman asks Garbo to become Irene Dunne or Carole Lombard, and that’s just not the type of actress she was.
