Wikipedia article




'Adam & Yves' is a 1974 X-rated film created for gay male audiences. The film is notable for the unauthorized use of footage of Greta Garbo, in what turned out to be the legendary actress's final appearance on film.

Set in Paris during springtime, 'Adam & Yves' is about the French Yves (Marcus Giovanni) and his pursuit of the American tourist Adam (Michael Hardwick). The men have a brief affair, but a long-lasting relationship is prevented by Yves' insistence that they not share personal information.[http://www.filmthreat.com/index.php?section=reviews&Id=8020 'Adam & Yves' review, Film Threat]

While making the film, director Peter de Rome reportedly stalked Greta Garbo around New York City, where the retired star was living. After much searching, De Rome located her and was able to shoot footage of Garbo walking across First Avenue. The footage was inserted into 'Adam & Yves,' and its presence was explained by having Adam recalling how he once saw the elusive star. The Garbo footage was used without the star's knowledge or permission, and she was not paid for her appearance.
