"Designing Films: The Art D\u00E9co Years\nShimmering Sets That Capture the Moderne Glamour of the 1920s and '30s\nThe 1932 film, starring Greta Garbo, was designed by art director Cedric Gibbons, who set the tone for Moderne-era movies.\nOne of the first to abandon painted backdrops, Gibbons created a vast space for Garbo's character's sleek grand salon.\nThe dramatic, streamlined entrance hall exemplifies Gibbons's style. The art director, who designed the Oscar statuette, won the award 11 times.\nArt-directed by Hobe Erwin and Fredric Hope, the 1933 film featured Jean Harlow as newly moneyed Kitty Packard. Depression-era audiences embraced the extravagance of D\u00E9co sets, such as Harlow's lavish dressing room with a fringed vanity and stool.\nHigh-contrast tones and bold geometries define Gibbons's set design for the bar and lounge of the polished Berlin hotel.\nGibbons used the iconic revolving doors in the film, in which Garbo utters the famous line, \"I want to be alone.\"\nStriking sets, such as the plush bedroom for the 1929 movie\u2014designed in a particularly French style\u2014were vital elements in films without color or sound."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
