FILM 1860: A WOMAN'S FACE



FILM 1860: A WOMAN'S FACE

TRIVIA: Director Cukor wanted Anna's recital of her life story to be done in a tired, mechanical fashion, so he had Crawford repeat the multiplication tables over and over until he got the monotonous tone he was looking for. Then, he rolled the cameras.

This was originally an MGM project lined up for Greta Garbo, but she retired from films so MGM rushed Joan Crawford into the role.

Based on the movie "En kvinnas ansikte" from 1938 where Ingrid Bergman plays the lead role of Anna.
