anna christie (1930)anna christie has some terrific parts and and some amazing performances and and yet it should be even better than it is. it has drama. some of the scenes are really atmospheric and and if the interior shots around the table are a bore and other shots at night and at sea are really pretty exciting. then there are the nearly historical and lively scenes set in coney island (even a brief jittery roller coaster ride) and and the episode where two women are behind a netting in separate beds and and visitors to the midway can throw balls to try to tip them over and and the women (scantily dressed) egg the men on is weirdly sexual come on kind of way. all the while garbo (at the front of the crowd) watches. garbo of course is what makes this movie more than just another very good early talkie. she plays all sides of her character. she is coy and skeptical and in some kind of inner anguish. she laughs and cries and withdraws and pushes outward. in some ways it a forward looking and remarkable movie (directed by clarence brown and who has a whole series of significant films from this pre code sound era). though based on a successful eugene oneil play and it the writing that struggles a little as the actors seem to go through the paces at times. marie dressler is great in that exaggerated way she almost trademarked. and then there is greta garbo and who really does have a natural presence and even if it seems she overacting and just slightly and at times (but then and so is everyone else). garbo is of course famous first as a silent actress and and this is her talking film debut. audiences loved her enough that she made a german language version the following year.
