Anna Christie (1930) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #AnnaChristie Sixteen minutes or so into this adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, 1930 audiences got what they were waiting for when Greta Garbo made her entrance and spoke on camera for the first time in her career: "Gimme a whiskey..." Like Lon Chaney and Charlie Chaplin, the Swedish Sphinx had continued in Silents even though Talkies were all the rage. Here, she made her landmark transition to the new era, playing a former prostitute whose past may ruin her chance for happiness. Directed By Clarence Brown Starring Greta Garbo, Charles Bickford, George F. Marion Subscribe to watch more Warner Archive videos: https://www.youtube.com/c/warnerarchi...
