- On Friday, July 21, 1933, in preparation for the production of QUEEN CHRISTINA, Greta Garbo sat for a costume test with cinematographer William H. Daniels. This piece is an excerpt from the nine-minute long test. Directed by Rouben Mamoulian, QUEEN CHRISTINA premiered 80 years ago on December 26, 1933 in New York and was released nationwide in 1934.
The costume test was preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2012 through "Project Film-to-Film," aimed at preserving as many films on film as possible over a two-year period. The project allowed the Academy to make new elements for over 500 projects in the Archive's collection.

Norma Desmond was right about one thing: ‘We didn’t need words, we had faces’.
Garbo had the most powerful face in the history of cinema, she could tell you so much without even opening her mouth!
She didn't tell anything. People just attributed meaning to her face because of halo effect.
This is absolutely a masterpiece. Please upload more screen tests with Garbo if you have... The most mysterious artist who ever lived!

Glad we did not leave her alone.
greta meme avec son age avance a fait du grand cinema seul sa presance fait trembler les plateux de tournage
Shows that motion pictures are universal across a multitude of languages and cultures. Thanks for posting.
It might be superficial but my goodness Garbo was beautiful. Mesmerizing.
Awesome to see the Queen of the silver screen herself in this footage. She is at the height of her beauty and fame in this test reel. So beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Remarkable footage. Breathtaking beauty and always mysterious. Thank you for sharing, Academy!
SO RARE and FASCINATING -- even (for Garbo fans) DEVASTATING -- to see the greatest film actress ever giving a performance she believed no one but a very few behind-the-scenes technicians would ever see and still, she has a 'wild animal' quality, as if she may suddenly bolt out of sight at any moment.
The smile @ :25 is devastatingly genuine ... the close-up @ :57, why does Daniels instruct her to look up? ... a quick, professional pucker @ 1:26 to perfect her lipstick and then -- boom, her face goes instantly stony and Sphinx-like... @ 1:48 Daniels provides a shadow for her to play with -- perhaps rehearse with? -- and she launches into a silent inner monologue, emotions flashing across her face too numerous to count.
Thank you SO much for posting this! Now post the rest of it ?... pretty please?
I'm fascinated by her presence in the test well. It's good that this recording remained. There's more about her?
Very, very thank you for this.
The timeless and ageless Golden Garbo.
You owe this woman an Oscar academy. You must be ashame of yourselves
Garbo wouldn't care for it
It's very unique to see Greta during this test. I am so very sorry we can't hear her special voice with it. She was and will be the most wonderful actress there was.
fantastique!!!! what a video!!!!! BRAVO!
Wow! Thanks so much for sharing this rare footage, giving Garbo's fans the opportunity to see her when the camera was rolling behind-the-scenes as it were. Even in costume tests, she exuded that intoxicating star quality that no one else matched.
Exquisite and mysterious. I love this woman's art deeply. The Divine One indeed!
Wooow! Those eyes, that face, she from another world ❤❤❤
Brilliant footage and terrific cinematography in 'Queen Christina' by Daniels.
What a timeless beauty Garbo was!
No one will ever be like her.
the greatness of the actor is not in the Oscars he received, but in the ability to get used to the role , to create an unforgettable image on the screen - and in this few people could compare with Greta Garbo...
Hollywood's most beautiful face - truly flawless.
"I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be let alone.' There is all the difference."

"I have a longing for trousers"......-Greta Garbo
“...and if I ask you in time, maybe you can put in a little sequence with the trousers...”
The camera, the light and the film are all in love with her.
Fabulous GG! Forever! Awesome eyes with longlashes really naturally...not fake! Wonderful sharing, thank you so much, enjoy! :)
Garbo the face of the century.
Thanks for this very rare, unique, document showing Greta when she's preparing to act. It shows the true artist's desire, anxiety, to be perfect in her masterpiece. Great Greta! If you have more of this, please! 👏👌♥️

wow the perfect face:-))
thanx !
amazing b/w -
any more Garbo ?...
The perfect face!
There are actresses, and then there is Garbo.
I wonder what was said or done at 0:51 to make her roll her eyes?
una de las mujeres mas HERMOSAS de la Cinematrografia Mundial.
Garbo excelle dans les rôles de personnages historiques. Les connaisseurs et spécialistes de Garbo disent que c'est Christine de Suède qui s'est incarnée dans Garbo et non le contraire. Je trouve que cette comparaison n'est pas tout à fait exagérée ;car en plus de certaines similitudes dans les traits de caractère, Garbo au faît de sa gloire ,choisit une vie plus simple loin du tumulte de la vie Hollywoodinne et de ce qui s'y prête, Christine de Suède abdiqua de son propre chef du Trône de Suède pour vivre loin des protocoles qu'exige son statut de Reine, et en quête de savoir et de culture mena une vie de voyageuse. Elle rencontra même la sulfureuse courtisane mais femme de grand_esprit Ninon de Lenclos à Paris.
She looked like her father..she had his bone structure. Her mother was fat-faced and "jolly" looking.
No sound
Fabulous Eyes!
No one compares to this beautiful Devine specimen, she is head and shoulders above the rest.
The only other women who comes close is Catherine Deneuve.
0:51, Ela estava quase rindo. (Brazilian Portuguese) --- She was almost laughing
.
Marcello Quintela2 ela era magnífica
Then...the eyeroll.
A face that could launch 10 million ships.
is she chewing a gum ?
Tobacco
素晴らしいですね。
That proud look a la Marlene Dietrich, but I still like Dietrich more
Супер! Супер! Супер!
👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Garbo the Great x
Garbo emotes!
That unusual collar makes it look as if her face has been placed on a pedestal.
