Big game
On this occasion in Paris, 1959, things were relatively calm. The well-known Garbo hunt has often taken rather dramatic forms, and the tricks used to avoid the photographers sometimes seem inspired by Hollywood. It is a story of long sieges, frustrated coups, and escapes through backdoors. In the escape from the photograpers in Rome, 1949, Garbo’s car, which was driven by a former French pilot, was stopped several times for traffic misdemeanors. But the police forgot the fines when they recognized Garbo.
