Watch free Anna Christie (1930)



Anna Christie is a 1930 MGM drama film adaptation of the 1922 play by Eugene O'Neill. It was adapted by Frances Marion, produced and directed by Clarence Brown with Paul Bern and Irving Thalberg as co-producers. The cinematography was by William H. Daniels, the art direction by Cedric Gibbons and the costume design by Adrian.

The film stars Greta Garbo, Charles Bickford, George F. Marion, and Marie Dressler.

It was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Actress (Greta Garbo), Best Cinematography and Best Director. This pre-Code film is the movie that used the marketing slogan "Garbo Talks!", as it was her first talkie.

Garbo's first spoken line has become one of her most famous: "Give me a whiskey, ginger ale on the side, and don't be stingy, baby." George F. Marion performed the role of Anna's father in the original Broadway production and in both the 1923 and 1930 film adaptations.

In early 1931, MGM released a German-language version, also starring Garbo, with Theo Shall, Hans Junkermann and Salka Viertel. The English and German language versions grossed a combined $1,499,000.
