262 THE TALKING PICTURE Greta Garbo, who had returned to her native Sweden for a vacation, talked of retiring from pictures. She returned, however, in 1933, to find M-G-M waiting for her with Queen Christina, a script based on the life of the famous ruler. Her leading man was John Gilbert. Rouben Mamoulian directed. In 1933 the girl who had been briefly featured in Forty-second Street (see p. 252) was promoted to be Fred Astaire's dancing partner in Flying Down to Rio. So began the career of the screen's most famous dance team. Here are Fred and Ginger in one of their cozier moments. Thornton Freeland directed the picture for RKO. r i ■ r ■ y WW* \ A i t 1P* ~i lEa |Kf1 B^J W* ***¥*& %: PP^ 'PI £!"^^BbP ■ \ se lys^^'v ^H fJc \JK0Sm -"""'H^F ' :' " ' ' ^a Jfc\sT> lk m> m Kav on W»^> ^f ¥ ■ « tf ,. ^£lr f 1
