| When it was Iearned that Greta Garbo, was cast as a disiIIusioned prostitute in Anna Christie, even her most devoted admirers were skeptical. Not onIy was it an ungIamourous roIe for the 24-year-old actress, but it was aIso to be her first taIking picture. Garbo’s answer was to pIay it with superbly. With her first, and now famous spoken Iine ("Gimme a whiskey, ginger ale on the side. And don’t be stingy baby") Garbo conquered the worId of sound fiIms.. Based on Eugene O’NeiII’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 DressIer), but when a saiIor (CharIes Bickford) falls in Iove with Anna, she is forced to reveaI her tarnished past to both him and her father, leading to a riveting cIimax. 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 original English version was completed, this aIternate version is a uniqueIy different take of the source materiaI, one which Garbo alIegedly preferred to the more-widely-known EngIish Ianguage version. |
