{"product_id":"anna-christie-blu-ray","title":"Anna Christie (Blu-ray)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen it was learned that Greta Garbo, was cast as a disillusioned prostitute in Anna Christie, even her most devoted admirers were skeptical. 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\u003cp\u003eStarring: Greta Garbo, Marie Dressler\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRating: NR\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49061839995154,"sku":"810134947436","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/4271255-3074443.jpg?v=1715194504","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/anna-christie-blu-ray","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
