Greta Garbo about Berlin
“The German people are wonderful. They do not touch you, yet they have their arms around you – always.”
From Photoplay, May 1928
“And Ber-lin!” Would that we could reproduce Greta Garbo’s enunciation of Ber-lin. The love there is in it. “I will never forget when I came to it. The smell of the City. An amazing smell that has everything in it. You can feel it in your breast, when it is coming. I had not been in a big city before - where there were so many, many people. But I could feel the smell long before we were really inside the city - it was as though I had smelled it before,” her voice lowered, “been there before, as I told you.”
