Synopsis: “Gif me a vhiskey,
ginger ale on the side — and don't be stingy, baby.” These were the
first words spoken on the screen by the great Greta Garbo. She's perfectly cast
here, in her first talkie, as Eugene O'Neill's lady with a past, but this
turgid seafront drama is more than a little creaky today. The film's famous
advertisements shrieked “Garbo Talks!”, and that she did, and passed
into movie history. But the dour Swede also talked in the simultaneously shot
but shorter German language version of this film, and director Jacques Feyder
was much more in sympathy with her European angst than was this version's
director Clarence Brown, with the result that the Feyder version rings truer.
The American version does however boast the wonderful Marie Dressler as an old
sea lag.
Cast: Greta Garbo, Charles Bickford
