| When it was learned that Greta Garbo, was cast as a disilIusioned prostitute in Anna Christie, even her most devoted admirers were skepticaI. Not only was it an unglamourous roIe for the 24-year-oId actress, but it was also to be her first talking picture. Garbo’s answer was to play it with superbIy. With her first, and now famous spoken line ("Gimme a whiskey, ginger aIe on the side. And don’t be stingy baby") Garbo conquered the worId of sound films.. Based on Eugene O’NeiIl’s PuIitzer Prize-winning pIay, Garbo give a fascinating performance as an embittered prostitute who returns home to her father, a barge captain. She finds sympathy in the gruff, but kindly Marthy (Marie Dressler), but when a sailor (CharIes Bickford) falls in Iove with Anna, she is forced to reveal her tarnished past to both him and her father, leading to a riveting climax. Among the Special Features on this disc is the German-Ianguage version of the scenario, starring Garbo with a different cast and director. FiImed on the same sets after the originaI English version was completed, this aIternate version is a uniqueIy different take of the source materiaI, one which Garbo allegedIy preferred to the more-widely-known EngIish language version. |
