Interesting facts

Two-Faced Woman is a 1941 American romantic comedy film directed by George Cukor and starring Greta Garbo in her final film role, Melvyn Douglas, Constance Bennett, and Roland Young. The movie was distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Production

Before Garbo's previous film, Ninotchka (1939) was completed, MGM had scheduled Madame Curie as her next picture. Pleased with the financial and critical success of Ninotchka, MGM decided to pair Garbo and Melvyn Douglas, her Ninotchka co-star, in another romantic comedy. George Cukor, who had directed Garbo in Camille (1936), which is generally regarded as her best film, was assigned to direct.

MGM used the film to promote a new image of Garbo as modern and glamorous, hoping to increase her appeal to filmgoers in the United States. Much of the income from Garbo's earlier pictures had come from their popularity in the European market, which was now unavailable due to World War II.

Two-Faced Woman was produced by Gottfried Reinhardt, with music by Bronislau Kaper, cinematography by Joseph Ruttenberg, art direction by Cedric Gibbons, and costume design by Adrian.
