	Anna Christie - Synopsis - Moviefone
		In this silent drama based on the play by Eugene O'Neill, Blanche Sweet plays Anna Christie, a young woman whose father Chris (George F. Marion) is a sailor and knows enough of the life of seafaring men to be certain that he doesn't want his daughter to become involved with one.
		Anna finds it difficult to hide her shameful past from her father and the man she loves, and eventually she is forced to confess to them both.
		Anna Christie was remade in 1930 in a version that gained instant fame as Greta Garbo's first talking picture.

	Pasco: 'Anna Christie' bridges troubled waters

		He soon learns Anna is Chris' daughter, much to his chagrin, and he immediately sees her as a potential wife, never realizing her sordid past.

	Anna Christie (1930)
		Anna Christie (1930) was advertised, in a two-word ad campaign, as the first talking picture (and 14th film) for cinema's greatest silent star - an asexual, supercool Nordic beauty named Greta Garbo: "Garbo Talks!" MGM Studios was quite concerned about their alluring, 24 year-old talented actress.
		The 74 minute, fl and white Anna Christie was adapted (by influential screenwriter Frances Marion) from Eugene O'Neill's play of the same name.
		Anna takes a seat in a chair, crouches down, and finally delivers her famous opening lines.

	Amazon.com: Anna Christie: DVD: Greta Garbo,Charles Bickford,George F. Marion,Marie Dressler,James T. Mack,Lee ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		When Anna arrives, however, it is clear that she has lived a hard life in the dregs of society, and that much of spirit has been extinguished.
		Anna Christie is adapted from Eugene O'Neill's play, a piece of gloom about prostitute Anna returning to her seafaring father (George F. Marion) and falling for a sailor (Charles Bickford).
		ANNA CHRISTIE is a wonderful film, beacause its stylistic clumsiness doesn't make in any less touching than it is. Garbo's performance is simultanousley ridiculous and terrific, her Anna being lost in the world a little bit less than Greta is lost in the English pronountiation.

	Anna Christie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Anna Christie tells the story of Anna Christopherson, a 20-year-old woman who reunites with her father after not having seen him for about 15 years.
		Eventually the fatherless family went to live with cousins on a farm in Minnesota; the mother died (and the brother, mentioned once in the script, apparently went off somewhere too), leaving Anna in the manipulative clutches of strangers who exploited her and finally drove her away.
		Indeed, this Anna Christie is absolutely off-off/indie theatre at its very best, offering a sensitive and insightful look at a classic work that benefits everybody involved, actors, audience members, and other theatre artists alike.

	The main problem with "Anna Christie" is Anna Christie - Silver Chips Online
		It is Anna, however, who ends the relationship because Mat is unaware of her shocking past.
		After surviving such a turbulent past as was Anna's, a realistic character would have undergone changes and reached realizations so that the finale should not have caught her as the same Anna who entered the play several acts before.
		To counteract a less than satisfactory portrayal of Anna is the excellent depiction of her father, Chris Christopherson, played by Kevin Tighe.

	Theatre Review: Anna Christie- Show Business Weekly
		When barge captain Chris Christopherson receives word that his daughter Anna is coming to visit after 20 years on her own, he kicks out his live-in lover, curbs his drinking and cleans up his act for the child he assumes has turned into a refined young lady.
		Chris had left Anna to be raised by relatives on a farm, hoping to shelter her from his turbulent life on what he calls "dat old devil sea." Unfortunately, Anna winds up corrupted by more dangerous evils on land.
		When she first enters the play, Jennifer Larkin is cold and detached as Anna, but what seems to be aloofness is actually the skill of a trained actress – she builds to an emotional climax slowly as she reveals Anna’s vulnerability to the audience, tearing off her emotional armor piece by piece.

	Anna Christie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anna Christie is a play in four acts by Eugene O'Neill.
		O’Neill revised it radically, changing the barge captain’s daughter Anna from a pure woman needing to be protected into a prostitute who finds reformation and love from life on the sea.
		Her first spoken line has become her most famous: "Give me a whiskey with ginger ale on the side, and don't be stingy, baby." George F. Marion had performed the role of Anna's father in the original Broadway production and both the 1923 and 1930 films.

	Anna Christie at FUSION Theatre
		Director Laurie Thomas stages Anna Christie with a fresh eye focused on the immigrant experience at the core of Americana, the melting pot which has fueled our most noble actions and hopes while at the same time ironically threatened the stability of family and strength of the individual.
		Anna's radiance is ever present, and we welcome her deliverance.
		Anna Christie is certainly tidy, maybe even too tidy, like a TV drama that rushes to wrap up in time for the 10 o'clock news.

	Anna Christie (1930 b 89')
		Anna's father Chris (George Marion) blames the old devil sea for making him an alcoholic as he tells his ladyfriend Marthy (Marie Dressler) about his daughter's letter from Minnesota, where she has been brought up on a farm by relatives after he abandoned her fifteen years ago.
		Finally Anna swears that she has never really loved anyone but Matt, and they are reconciled even though the life they have to look forward to is the very one her father feared for her if she married a sailor.
		The age-old double standard blames women for the same promiscuity that is believed to make "real men." The sad story of Anna Christie gives the woman's view so that perhaps someday women will not have to be victimized by that old devil pattern.

	Anna Christie: review on TheaterMania.com
		Perhaps to compensate for Anna's new sharpness, Smith mines enough humor from the characters that their rougher edges are softened; the tone of the production occasionally borders on the whimsical, despite all the dense fog roiling around the Kreeger Theater stage.
		Anna (Sara Surrey) is the daughter of widowed Swedish immigrant sailor Chris Christopherson (Kevin Tighe), a slow-witted man who's only truly at ease when at sea.
		Anna is afraid to tell her father that she had become a prostitute before escaping to New York, but her secret spills out during the clash of wills between father and daughter.

		This play by Nobel laureate O'Neill centers around Anna, a young woman who, after an illness, decides to spend some time with the father she knows only from occasional letters.
		"Anna Christie" focuses on three characters: Anna, who has had a traumatic life in the United States; her father Chris, a Swedish merchant seaman; and Mat Burke, an Irish stoker who takes an interest in Anna.
		"Anna Christie" is a compelling study of gender roles and expectations, ethnic conflict in the U.S., family ties and disruptions, the call of the seafaring life, and fatalism versus the embrace of free will.

		The story ends with a movement to the next thing, as distinct from resolution, which isn't the author's cup of tea; and those who like their films neatly worked out in the end will be disappointed by the absence of any real surprise.
		In Anna Christie we are in O'Neill country, a place of sea, storms and fog, a feeling of all-pervading and damnable uncertainty, which we would now call ambivilance, or anxiety neurosis.

	Talkin' Broadway Off-Broadway - Anna Christie - 9/15/02
		Eugene O'Neill's Anna Christie, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1922, may seem dated in some of its characterizations or its depiction of a seagoing society that no longer exists, but it can still pack a powerful dramatic punch.
		While she wears Anna's refined shell like a second skin, the harder, more world-weary woman underneath is not as easily at her disposal.
		Still, Anna Christie is an exciting, emotional play, and Strong and Peden, at the top of their form, do their best to bring out the best in it.
