Not only was it an unglamourous role for the 24-year-old actress, but it was also to be her first talking picture. Garbo's answer was to play it with superbly. With her first, and now famous spoken line (\"Gimme a whiskey, ginger ale on the side. And don't be stingy baby\") Garbo conquered the world of sound films.. Based on Eugene O'Neill's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Garbo give 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 (Marie Dressler), but when a sailor (Charles Bickford) 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cinema Cellar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42093787381845,"sku":"ALL810134947436","price":35.08,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3032\/6613\/files\/all810134947436_0a66854d-c817-4a07-89d1-ca6806617ea0.jpg?v=1769463288","url":"https:\/\/cinemacellar.com\/products\/anna-christie-blu-ray_all810134947436","provider":"Cinema Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
