Two-Faced Woman Overview:
Two-Faced Woman (1941) was a Comedy - Romance Film directed by George Cukor and produced by Gottfried Reinhardt.
SYNOPSIS
In Garbo's last film appearance, she strains to duplicate her success as a comedian in Ninotchka (1939), but this light romance has its winning moments. Garbo meets Douglas when she gives him skiing lessons, and they quickly marry. When she hears about his beautiful, brainy playwright girlfriend (Bennett) back in New York, she tests his affection by posing as her own twin sister. Douglas immediately gets the idea and plays along, and Garbo exits in a huff, but her amused husband retrieves her from the slopes. Additional scenes were added to Cukor's film when the Catholic Legion of Decency objected to the original premise that Douglas fell for Garbo's trick and pursued her, believing Garbo was really her sister.
