Anna Christie

DramaRomance89 min

After years away, Anna returns to the New York waterfront to reconnect with the father who sent her off as a child. Their reunion is uneasy from the start: she carries the damage of a hard past, and he clings to a simpler picture of the daughter he thinks he has recovered. When a rough but earnest sailor enters her life, Anna is pulled between the chance of love and the fear that telling the truth about herself will cost her both men. Greta Garbo centers the story as a woman trying to claim her future while old shame, family strain, and the judgments around her close in.
