		He declined renewal of his contract, against MGM's wishes, and accepted a $20,000 fee to finish producing Anna Karenina (1935) with Greta Garbo, and to oversee the shooting of another Dickens adaptation, A Tale of Two Cities (1935).
		After the film was wrapped, the concerned producer sent missives pleading that although he was departing MGM and "[would] not be here to fight the battles of A Tale of Two Cities [make] sure that it is handled properly by the sales and advertising departments....
		Up to that time, as Jewell later remembered, she had "played rip-roaring comedy stuff and Jack Conway (director of the film) would say to me, 'You're a marvelous little comedienne, but you can't play the part of a seamstress.' He refused to give me an audition." But Selznick prevailed and her audition was a success.

		Following her discovery by director Mauritz Stiller and her successful debut performance as the Countess Elizabeth Dohna in the Swedish film The Atonement of Gosta Berling (1924), Garbo accompanied her director, who had been hired by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) studios, to the United States.
		A great success, it was followed by The Temptress (1926) and Flesh and the Devil (1927), which established Garbo as one of the most popular film stars of the time.

	David O. Selznick
		His next stop was MGM, where he remained for three years as a vice president and producer, and shepherded such big-budget, prestige productions as A Tale of Two Cities (1935), David Copperfield (1935), and Anna Karenina (1935) to completion.
		As a studio executive during the first half of the 1930s, he was responsible for the making of such classics as King Kong (1933) at RKO and A Tale of Two Cities (1935) at MGM.
		Though he issued the latter film in the United States in a somewhat edited form, it proved to be a massive success on this side of the Atlantic and kept the wolf from the door, for a time at least.

	Greta Garbo Biography
		In 1935, David O. Selznick wanted Garbo cast as the dying heiress in Dark Victory, but she insisted on a screen version of Leo Tolstoy's classic novel, Anna Karenina.
		Anna Christie (1930) was the talking picture in which her rich, low voice was first heard.

	Anna Christie (1930)
		And a familiar director Clarence Brown was also assigned to the film, having already directed Garbo in Flesh and the Devil (1927), and A Woman of Affairs (1928) (and later Anna Karenina (1935) and Conquest (1937)).
		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 role Garbo would play, a sickly prostitute, would be in sharp contrast to the glamorous characters she had already played in silent films.

	Garbo, Greta
		Garbo's subsequent movies, among them Mata Hari (1932), Grand Hotel (1932), Queen Christina (1933), Anna Karenina (1935), Camille (1936), and Conquest (1937), won her a following that was almost a cult, and in Ninotchka (1939) she displayed an unexpected gift for comedy.
		Unlike many stars of the silent movies she more than successfully made the transition to sound film with Anna Christie (1930), in which her first spoken words on the screen revealed a low, husky voice to complement her beauty.
		In 1955 she received a special Academy Award for her "series of luminous and unforgettable performances." Her insistence on complete privacy recalled a famous line from one of her films, usually quoted, though not quite accurately, as "I want to be alone," and helped make her a legend in her own time.

		Crowther did not include this film in his short list of Garbo's major artistic achievements.
		Bosley Crowther, New York Times film critic from 1940 to 1967, had this to say about the Garbo eyes: "Set in the face of classic structure were large, sad, luminous eyes that expressed a limited but intense emotional range".
