Garbo Talks, a Comedy-Drama About Fan Worship

The Museum of Modern Art Department of Film 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART #47 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GARB0 TALKS (AND LAUGHS, AS WELL) AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART AT SCREENINGS OCTOBER 12 AND 22 Last spring, director Sidney Lumet took over part of The Museum of Modern Art as a location for his latest film, Garbo Talks, a comedy-drama about fan worship. For one episode of the film, Lumet created the opening night of a fictitious Museum retrospective of this legendary actress's work, complete with a screening of Ninotchka and a reception packed with celebrities. This month, MGM/UA will premiere Garbo Talks. In a case of life imitating art, the Department of Film will show two of the best-remembered films from the Garbo canon during October--George Cukor's Cami lie and Ernst Lubitsch's Ninotchka--with the kind co-operation of MGM/UA. Unlike the episode in Lumet's film, these screenings will be real and open to the public. Tickets to the Museum's films are free with admission ($4.50 for adults, $3 for students, $2 for senior citizens) and are available first-come, first-served on the day of the screening. For further information, the public may call (212) 708-9500. October 1984 SCHEDULE Fri. Oct. 12 2:30 Ninotchka. 1939. Ernst Lubitsch. With Greta Garbo, Melvyn Douglas, Ina Claire.
