STRANGE INTERLUDE (1932) 249 Still another play to reach the screen that year was Eugene O'Neill's Strange Interlude. It was no easy job to compress a play that took five hours to perform into a film lasting about two, but M-G-M's director, Robert Z. Leonard, managed it. He even made the asides intelligible to the audience. Norma Shearer played the lead, with Clark Gable, here kissing her hand, as the doctor. ■;»**aaa\ ABOVE RIGHT In 1932 Garbo played the ill-fated international spy, Mata Hari, in the M-G-M picture of the same name. Ramon Novarro played opposite her. BELOW Another play filmed in 1932 was Philip Barry's The Animal Kingdom. RKO made it, with Ann Harding and Leslie Howard in the leading roles.
