Garbo laughs (not for long) -- with Freddie Bartholomew in Anna Karenina
Garbo won the very first New York Film Critics Award for Best Actress for Anna Karenina, 1935-- a year that also saw Katharine Hepburn in Alice Adams and Bette Davis in Dangerous. This is the Garbo performance, I think, about which Graham Greene, in the midst of highly praising Garbo's acting, slipped in that sometimes watching her is "more work than play." She is occasionally tedious here-- Anna's passion for Fredric March's Vronsky barely registers. She is oddly indifferent with Basil Rathbone, very moving as Anna's haughty husband Karenin. Perhaps that's how it should be -- certainly, as he says, Anna chooses to misunderstand him.
But with young Freddie Bartholomew, Garbo is magical-- Anna comes to life with her son and when she is thinking of him. And Freddie Bartholomew plays to her and with her. Directed by Clarence Brown for MGM.
Another in the "Garbo laughs! -- before Ninotchka" series.
