Garbo Talks

About this movie

Upon learning that her days are numbered, feisty Estelle Rolfe (Anne Bancroft) has only one request: to meet the woman she has worshipped since her childhood...Greta Garbo. Racked with an acute sense of filial duty, her beleaguered but devoted son Gilbert (Ron Silver) begins his long and often hilarious journey to find the reclusive screen legend. From the streets of New York City, to the shores of Fire Island, to even his stint as a delivery man for a gourmet food store, Gilbert’s search efforts are relentless as he races against the clock to fulfill his mother’s dying wish. Directed by Sidney Lumet, and with memorable performances by Bancroft, Silver, Harvey Fierstein, Steven Hill, Hermione Gingold, Howard Da Silva, Dorothy Loudon and Carrie Fisher, “Garbo Talks” is a heartwarming comedy that proves...sometimes you can catch a star!
