Greta Garbo as Mata Hari

Espionage and contre espionage are dealt with effectively in "Mata Hari," a glamourous and romantic conception of the latter days of the life of the Dutch dancer and courtesan who was shot as a spy by the French in 1917. Commercially, Mata Hari was Garbo's most successful film and MGM's biggest hit of the year, netting a profit of nearly one million dollars.It was a sensation in the US, and overseas rentals, especially in Continental Europe, matched those in the US. These combined grosses amounted to $2,227,000 or $31,601,862, adjusted for inflation.

Stamps are Glücksburg Castle (built 1582-1587), issued on 02.01.2013.


Thank you Stefanie.
