Movie Reviews of Anna Karenina (1935)
Movie Review: Laughably Poor
Summary: 1 Stars
After watching the stunning Anna Karenina with Nicola Pagett and Stuart Wilson, I decided to check out the Garbo version. I was shocked to find this movie completely lacking in passion, nearly devoid of motivation, without adequate storyline, and completely miscast: a totally detached, arch Garbo with acting more appropriate to the Marschallin in der Rosenkavalier than passionate Anna, a completely sexless March botching Count Vronsky, who should be the most dashing man in Russia with March looking more like Hitler on a good day. Zilch charisma between Garbo and March whatsoever. Ever since viewing this, I've been walking around parodying Garbo by pretending to speak her faux Russian accent through that clenched-teeth smile. Don't waste your time with this abomination. Get the brilliant Nicola Pagett version which will you haunt for days.
