I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Best movie ever!

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Garbo deserved a better script, and her fans deserved a better Garbo send off. So what exactly is the problem with this film?For starters, the premise would have worked better for someone like Lucille Ball. As screwball comedies go, this one is especially absurd, though humorous in spots-- about mistaken identities involving a case of dual role-itis. Certainly not something that should have been attempted with Garbo, who is out of her element here. The supporting cast is well chosen, notably Constance Bennett. The picture has the usual high-gloss MGM production values. But overall, it is a mediocre script that seems more like a typical studio programmer that has been over valued and oversold because of its star. Again, it's funny in spots, and it's worth watching. But it most definitely is not a befitting motion picture swan song for a legend.

Disappointing 1941 film with Greta Garbo and Melvyn Douglas in the leads. Constance Bennett is given little to do and the one surprise in the film is how rather pretty Ruth Gordon looked. This came a year after her memorable turn with Raymond Massey in "Abe Lincoln in Illinois."The story is rather routine here. In one swirl, editor Douglas marries ski instructor Garbo, but when Garbo comes to N.Y. to surprise him, she is not happy to see him around Constance Bennett. To top matters, his partner sees Garbo as she is fleeing before Douglas sees her. To the rescue comes Douglas's faithful secretary, Ruth Ellis, played with charm and wit by Ruth Gordon. She invents the story that he saw her twin. Soon aware of this facade, the rest of the film is devoted to Garbo and Douglas playing off on each other. The "twin" forces Garbo to be the woman she really isn't and this just goes on and on.

I liked Garbo in this. It's not much of a film but she is wonderful to behold. She's certainly up there with Claudette Colbert, Jean Arthur, Carole Lombard and Irene Dunne. Personally Babs Stanwyck and Myrna Loy are the absolute stars of screwball but it's a shame Garbo didn't make a few more comedies to attest to her versatility, in the same way that Dietrich proved herself so much more than Von Sternberg's mannequin. If you look at the comedy of the era - the classic screwball - it's a very modern type of comedy and even some of the lesser entries play quite well now, especially as we are so used to American TV's sitcoms re- popularising the genre (Frasier being one of the best). I find screwballs of the 35-42 period are funnier now than most current comedies, Two-Faced Woman included.

Every time someone mentions this film, they say something bad about it. It wasn't the best movie but I enjoyed it thoroughly. She had my attention through the whole film. I thought Garbo was way more interesting in this film than both Constance Bennett & Melvyn Douglas. Good film. I wish I still owned it and I would watch it right now!!! I love how radical she becomes when she pretends to be her "twin" sister. Melvyn Douglas was an alright character and so too Bennett, but I thought Garbo's last performance was great and I would like for this movie to get more credit. If anyone enjoys Garbo they should enjoy this film or you are just simply not that big of a Garbo fan. That's how i see it. The mysterious lady treats us with a few funny laughs. Like when she gets drunk. Not as funny as she was in Ninotchka though. Long Live Garbo!
