Brownlow paints a unique portrait of the enigmatic actress Greta Garbo using rare footage, new and vintage interviews with biographers and admirers, as well as many of the friends, relatives and associates who came closest to penetrating the star's solitary existence. Her career is illustrated with clips from all of her films, ranging from her early film work in Sweden to such Hollywood triumphs as Anna Christie, Grand Hotel, Camille, Ninotchka and her swan song, Two-Faced Woman, filmed in 1941.
