POLA NEGRI FILMOGRAPHY
The Retirement Films (1943, 1964)
Both of these films are a lot of fun to watch; we can definitely say that Pola left the screen in grand form in these films. Pola’s characters in both films are respectful send-ups of her old “wildcat” roles and reflect quite a bit of her real-life personality. Both of these films are available on Amazon.com; click the box on the right or on the links provided below to buy them.
