GRETA GARBO, LEW AYRES | THE KISS (1929) Oversized photo of torrid pre-Code moment
$350.00

A scandalous pre-Code story, The Kiss was MGM’s last non-talking picture. Garbo would talk soon after. In this she plays an unhappily married woman caught up in a murder trial.
In this scene which was prominently used in poster and publicity art, Lew Ayres (in his first role) mistakes her intentions and is killed soon after.
