Vintage original 11x14 in. US lobby card from the classic 1930's spy drama MATA HARI, released in 1931 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and directed by George Fitzmaurice. Greta Garbo stars in this semi-fictionalized account of the life of Mata Hari, a beautiful exotic dancer who was accused of spying for Germany during World War I. The image depicts Mata Hari (Greta Garbo) as she "...prepared to meet her doom" after being captured as a spy. Printed for the film's 1963 U.S. theatrical re-release by MGM, it is unrestored in very fine condition as shown. Though the title character was real, the events in the film are mostly fictional. While this film was in production, rumors began circulating that co-stars Greta Garbo and Ramon Novarro were having an affair. This was untrue, but they did develop a strong friendly rapport. Novarro wears internal lifts in his boots so that the difference in height between himself and Garbo was increased on screen. Mata Hari was censored when it was reissued in 1936 to conform to the Hays Code. The available version is 89 minutes whereas the pre-code version was 92 minutes. Among the censored parts of the film - the erotic dance to Shiva was shortened; a once famous scene of Mata Hari and Rosanoff in bed, lit only by the glowing ends of their cigarettes. The part contained a line of dialogue where her lover comments on her "ridiculously long eyelashes." This comment is brought up later in the film but the context had previously been removed.
