It responds with a toothless grin and Greta reaches up to it (2, 3). Commentary Unlike the original Mata Hari, Garbo's slinky gowns bare the top of her belly, but not the lower swooping reaches of belly-down and belly button that the double-agent was famous for. Garbo's opposite in the film is Ramon Navarro. Source Greta Garbo in Mata Hari, directed by George Fitzmaurice, 1931. .10 scanned from Pierre Billard,Vamps, Societe d'Editions R.T.M.
