Garbo Talks
ComedyDrama103 min
New York accountant Gilbert Rolfe drops everything when his mother learns she has a brain tumor and asks for one final favor: an introduction to Greta Garbo. Ron Silver's Gilbert tears across the city chasing rumors and old connections, while Anne Bancroft gives Estelle the stubborn wit that keeps him moving. At home, his fixation strains his marriage to Lisa (Carrie Fisher), as a son’s attempt to grant a last wish pulls his work, family, and private life into the search for one of cinema’s most elusive stars.
