Review of Anna Christie (1930) by David F — 02 Feb 2010
Interesting in that this is Garbo's first Hollywood talkie, in which she famously asks 'Give me a viskey'. Beyond that, the production is quite stagey and stilted, as was common with most of the first sound films.
Hard to believe it's based on a play by Eugene O'Neill. Intriguingly, there was also a German version shot at the same time with a different cast around Garbo, in much the same way 'Dracula' was filmed in Spanish and English.
Should interest fans of early cinema as a film touchstone more than entertainment.
