The retrospective continues from the mid 1930s and the remake of Anna Karenina (There was an earlier silent version which also starred Garbo.) to her comedy success in Ninotchka. Director George Cukor, who directed Garbo in Camille, provides his insight into her as an actress and person. Pidgeon ends the retrospective with a fan letter writing campaign to encourage Garbo to return to making movies. As an upcoming feature, Pidgeon discusses the new movie Gaby, starring Leslie Caron and John Kerr. And he provides a preview of upcoming episodes, which will feature scenes from The Pirate and The Swan. Written by Huggo See less
