“Very well done doc that does a good job of de-mystifying its subject, especially her decision to leave Hollywood and films for New York and privacy. The simple and, to me, utterly convincing explanation put forward by Kevin Brownlow and Christopher Bird in this film is that of a talented actress who simply could not endure being a Star, especially the non stop attention. That this, of course, puts her at odds with about 99.9% of those in her profession who make it big is an irony to be savored along with that other Garbo irony that this dramatic actressu0026#39; best film, by far, is her only comedy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI also like that she didnu0026#39;t take any crap from Louis B. Mayer. A minus.”
