By this time Feyder had accepted an offer from MGM to work in Hollywood, where in 1929 his first project was directing Greta Garbo in "The Kiss", her last silent film. It was in Hollywood that he made the transition to sound films; even before he had worked with sound films, Feyder declared himself to be a firm believer in their future, in contrast with some of his French contemporaries. In 1930, he directed Jetta Goudal in her only French language film made in Hollywood, "Le Spectre vert". His subsequent work in the USA consisted mainly of directing foreign-language versions of American films, including a German version of "Anna Christie", again with Garbo.
