Anna Christie Review
It is all too easy at this late stage to scoff at the presumed staginess of Anna Christie or of Greta_Garbo's much-imitated opening line of "Gimme a vhisky, ginger ale on the side." In reality, however, the drama actually holds up fine in comparison with most talkies from 1930 and William_Daniels' camera is surprisingly fluid. George_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. Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi
