After her highest grossing film, Grand Hotel (1932), Greta Garbo only made eight more movies. She concluded her career with Two-Faced Woman (1941) a convoluted tale about fictitious twin sisters. The film was a flop.
Two-Faced Woman was an attempt to modernise and Americanise Garbo’s image. At the time, her fan base was shrinking in America, so she decided to pull the plug.

So as you may have noticed, I'm a sucker for a good retro cutaway diagram. This is one of my favourites, by British "Cutaway King" G. H. Davis.
It triggers my home nesting instinct, but it was probably pretty terrible to be on board one, what with the swell in the Channel (and the whole "crashing in an airplane" thing).

Today we're looking at a couple of really cool old videos from the #1940s-70s and responding to them from a modern, feminist perspective: what can we learn from these old videos? How have they influenced the #society we have today? What can we have a giggle at?

Hedy Lamarr was well cast in Dishonoured Lady (1947) as a hedonist who seeks help from a psychiatrist, then finds herself accused of murder. Hedy was married to one of her co-stars, John Loder, at the time of filming, but they divorced later in the year.

Notable Movie Debuts, 1949
Richard Burton in The Last Days of Dolwyn, an emotive film in the eyes of many Welsh people due to its subject matter: the flooding of a Welsh community to provide water for regions of England.

Notable Movie Debuts, 1949
Jeanne Moreau in Last Love
Orson Welles called her “the greatest actress in the world.” It’s difficult to add anything beyond that.
