Of the two versions I saw, I preferred the German version with English subtitles. Garbo’s performance as well as that of the supporting cast was more inspired. I will support looking for that version before I take!
The once highly esteemed script-writer, Frances Marion, faithfully followed the text of the well-known Eugene O’Neil play which starred Blanche Sweet on Broadway in the early twenties. Bette Davis, who was a devout “Garbomaniac” (as Garbo fans were called in the thirties), once stated about Garbo’s acting: “What Garbo did on the mask was sheer witchcraft… I cannot analyze this woman’s acting”. In her first sound film, after what seems an eternity, Garbo finally comes into notion, weary and cynical, she says to the bartender: “Gif me a viskey – chinger ale on the side. And don’t be stingy, baby!”. Her jabber was blissfully lawful on target! This 1930 antique is very talky and reminds one of a soundless movie with dialogue. If it were not so well-acted, it would be very stupid indeed. Garbo’s scream was distinguished as being in uncommon and attractive accord with the Garbo personality of the calm pictures. Garbo had, more than than any other actress on the cloak in the early thirties, the ability to emit the power of suggestion, and, in infinite degrees, exhibit the isolated mysteriousness of the human soul. Charles Bickford does quite well as the Irish seaman, and as the the frail waterfront hag, Marthy Owens, Marie Dressler achieve an infinite amount of detail in her estimable (albeit a bit hammy) characterization; Garbo was so impressed by Dressler’s performance that she personally brought a bouquet of chrysanthemums to Dressler’s home in appreciation. On both the stage and mask, George Marion seemed destined to be aged Chris; his remarks about “Dat stale davil sea” has made audiences laugh for over 70 years.
