Greta Garbo in the MGM/Jacques Feyder silent drama The Kiss, 1929. Garbo’s final silent film before transitioning to talkies (though MGM did add an orchestral score and sound effects to this movie), the spectacular cinematography was handled by Greta’s favorite lensman William H. Daniels.

GET TO KNOW ME MEME ✦ (1/10 Favorite Films) SOME LIKE IT HOT (1959) dir. Billy Wilder

“I’m not very bright, I guess…just dumb. If I had any brains, I wouldn’t be on this crummy train with this crummy girls’ band…I used to sing with male bands but I can’t afford it anymore…That’s what I’m running away from. I worked with six different ones in the last two years. Oh, brother!…I can’t trust myself. I have this thing about saxophone players, especially tenor sax…I don’t know what it is, they just curdle me. All they have to do is play eight bars of ‘Come to Me, My Melancholy Baby’ and my spine turns to custard.”
