UNTITLED “LASSE RING” FILM (1921)
Director Lasse Ring directed Garbo in her advertising films How not to dress (1920) and Our daily Bread (1921).
In the fall of 1921, Greta was offered a part in a feature-length motion picture: “a Nordic love story” to be directed by Lasse Ring and filmed on location two hours outside of Stockholm.
This time, however, the personnel department of the PUB, refused to arrange additional time off from work.
According to Ring, when he tried to intervene with Greta's boss, he was reprimanded for giving the girl “crazy ideas about the movies.”
Greta reluctantly declined the role.

TVA KONUNGAR (1924)
In this Swedish production (by Elis Ellis) and first bigger starring role by Alva Gustaffson, it was rumoured that Greta has had a short part in the film. Another source wrote that she was offered the chance to get a part in the film.
It was a Svensk Filmindustrie Production and released in early 1925. the English title is Two Kings.
The persistent claim that both Gustafson sisters appeared in the film is unsubstantiated, and the film is lost.
The confusion derives from a probable misquotation by Åke Sundborg in Photoplay, May 1930: "I have seen (Two Kings) here in Stockholm. I see my dead sister live again on the screen, with me at her side!"
