Now, Stiller could finally direct Greta. This was of course , the reason why they went to Hollywood and signed the MGM contract.

Filming started but already on the first day of shooting, the mood on the set wasn't good. Stiller brought many problems on the set. As he went onto the set, he complained that too many people are standing around. Stiller said that they should leave the set and that he does not need them. He said that all he needed is a camera and actors. Stiller refused to have a supervisor, a script girl etc.

Mayer became afraid when he heard this and thought that he had made a mistake in assigning Stiller. Just before shooting started, Stiller started an argument with Garbo's male co-star, Antonio Moreno. Moreno was a real latino. Born in Madrid. The 38 year old, made more than 90 films. Stiller looked at him and insisted that Moreno shave off his mustache.

Its his trademark. The director demanded that it come off and Moreno shaved it off. Stiller and Moreno had many problems. Some time later, Moreno complained to Thalberg about the working.

He said how bad Stiller's english and directing is. Like Stiller wanted, the circus party set had an amazing set design. This was the right way to introduce Garbo in the film and MGM did allow him a big budget for the set. Garbo was happy to be working with Stiller, even if much trouble was on the set. After Thalberg and Mayer saw the first rushes, they were confused with Stiller footage.

The scenes were in total chaos and had no order. They couldn't understand that Stiller had his own way of making a picture. He shot scenes as he wished and not necessarily in sequence.

Stiller liked to shoot everything and then make the film what he wanted it to be by cutting and editing. Mayer and Thalberg found the unedited footage not acceptable. Thalberg wanted to get rid of Stiller but Mayer wanted to give him another chance.

Thalberg called Stiller to his office and tried to talk with him. He wanted Stiller to work more in a orderly way. But Stiller, who couldn't speak English well enough, could not explain what he was trying to do. Stiller was deeply sad and disappointed. He had the feeling that they wanted him to teach how to direct.

Stiller said that they brought him here cos they liked his methods and no they don't want his methods. Filming went on and so went the trouble between Stiller and Moreno. It became more and more difficult for Stiller to concentrate.

On April 22, Stiller and Moreno had a big controversy and Moreno stormed off the set. But he returned to the set soon after and went on working on the "Tango-Scene". Some time later Stiller was handed an envelope.

Stiller raised his arm and stopped the action. Garbo went to him and looked at the envelope. She read it and started crying.

The message told her that her sister Alva, has died in Sweden. After a while she told Stiller to get on filming. They made some more takes but than she was driven to her home. She didn't come to work the following days but the studio wanted her to come back as soon as possible.

She could not travel home to Sweden. Out of loyalty to Stiller, she returned to work. Years later, Greta heard that Stiller already got the telegram, informing Alva's death, 24 hours earlier. We will never know the reasons. On April 29,after 4 weeks of shooting, Thalberg wanted to talk with Stiller. It is said that they had a big discussion. Thalberg wanted to replace Stiller as director for The Temptress. A nervous Garbo was waiting. Stiller left the office and gave Garbo the news. Thalberg had fired him from the film.

Greta and Stiller were heartbroken. On, May 3, Fred Niblo stared work as the new director. After many meetings they decided to continue filming with the script as it stood. Thalberg then decided to scrap and re-write all of Stiller's scenes. He also decided to replace cameraman Tony Gaudio with William Daniels. He replaced actor H. Warner with Marc MacDermott as Fontenoy. New costumes were made and Moreno restored his mustache. Everyone seemed to be happy, apart from Garbo and Stiller.

Stiller, alone in Santa Monica, had sunk into a deep depression. Greta was like broken into pieces. She thought she couldn't go on.

Without Stiller to guide her, she was beside herself. It is said that she walked the floor, in her house, until daybreak. Sometimes in desperation she would knock her head against the wall. Garbo's Swedish friends tried to comfort her but she closed her door to them. The new director tried to cheer her up but this couldn't help either. Garbo took a small break from filming.

When she returned to the film, Niblo had finished many scenes. Garbo now had to re-shoot all of the scenes, she already made with Stiller. The entire opening sequence was re-shot by Niblo.

In the new version, Greta is introduced not on a white horse but in a dark opera box at a masked ball. Garbo finished the film on July 26, four months after she started filming it.

Later, the young woman is rightly accused causing the misfortune and loss of wealth of Fontenoy, a man who fell for her charms.
