Anna Christie 1930 - Garbo's first talking picture


IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0020641/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
IMDB rating: 7,0


Director: Clarence Brown
Main Cast: Greta Garbo, Charles Bickford, Marie Dressler, George F. Marion



"Accompanied by one of the most successful advertising campaigns in Hollywood history, Greta Garbo made her 'talking picture' debut in this carefully chosen vehicle, the second screen version of Eugene O'Neill's 1922 playGeorge F. Marion, who originated the role of Chris on Broadway back in 1922, makes Anna's old seadog of a father much more than a vaudeville turn and Marie Dressler deservedly won recognition for her downtrodden old sod of a waterfront floozy. As for Garbo herself, she makes Eugene O'Neill's heroine unforgettably her own." - http://www.allmovie.com/movie/anna-christie-v2512/
