Quick Facts Adam & Yves, Directed by ...

Set in Paris during springtime, Adam & Yves follows Frenchman 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.[1]

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.[2][3] The Garbo footage was used without the star's knowledge or permission, and she was not paid for her appearance.[4]
