This is the first talking film with Greta Garbo. It stars Charles Bickford also George F. Marion and Marie Dressler. It surprised me a lot. People don't think that a film they saw about ten times is going to surprise them, but it did. There were certain scenes with Garbo and Bickford where he tries to be really tough, but she puts him in his place. The crazy thing was I never saw someone do that in a film from the 1930s until I saw Anna Christie. I never saw a woman be like that except for Scarlet O'Hara in Gone with the Wind and now Garbo in Anna Christie. It was surprising to me that she would be that bold. There are a ton of people that like Garbo's movies that are not understood because of their movie preference for older films.
