Genres: Drama, Romance
Rating:
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 play about the Minnesota-raised Swedish girl who desperately attempts to keep her unsavory past from her long-lost father, Kris (George_F._Marion). But when she falls for a charming Irish sailor, Matt Burke (Charles_Bickford), Anna can keep her secret no longer. Learning that the girl used to be a prostitute, Matt is at first repulsed, but quickly realizes that he cannot live without her. Working overtime, Garbo filmed both Swedish and German versions under the direction of Belgian Jacques_Feyder. Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi
