- Synopsis
- This incredible documentary catalogues how a Spanish farmer named Juan Pujol became Garbo, one of the most successful double agents in history. The British code-named him Garbo for being the “greatest actor in the world,” because of his ability to gain the Third Reich’s trust and make possible the successful D-Day landings that turned the course of history. Variety called the film,” a dazzling mixture of feature film and archival footage… a real roller-coaster ride.” The film went on to be one of Spain’s biggest theatrical releases for a documentary in years.
