Colorized Greta Garbo in the 1931 film Mata Hari

Expect Hollywood to be bigger than life.  The real archtype femme fatale Mata Hari would have swooned to see herself portrayed by the more beautiful Greta Garbo in this 1931 film, just 14 years after she was executed by the French in a firing squad. Of course, the court was never able to prove the allegations that Mata Hari was a double agent, a spy and counter spy, for France and Germany.  All they had was circumstantial evidence, but they needed someone to blame for causing the deaths of at least 50,000 French soldiers during WWI.   Details of the trial had been sealed and are scheduled to be declassified by the French military this year, exactly one hundred years after her execution.
