| Summary |
With her first, and now famous spoken line ("Gimme a whiskey, ginger ale on the side. And don't be a stingy baby") Garbo conquered the world of sound films. Based on Eugene O'Neill's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Garbo gives 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, but when a sailor falls in love with Anna, she is forced to reveal her tarnished past to both him and her father, leading to a riveting climax. Among the Special Features on this disc is the German-language version of the scenario, starring Garbo with a different cast and director. Filmed on the same sets after the original English version was completed, this alternate version is a uniquely different take of the source material, one which Garbo allegedly preferred to the more widely known English language version. |
