Anna Christie was a 1931 German language film version of the 1930 film starring Greta Garbo, based on the play by Eugene O'Neill. This production was released in early 1931. Like its sister version, it was made by MGM. It starred Greta Garbo, Theo Shall, Hans Junkermann and Salka Viertel. This version was adapted by Frances Marion and the dialogue written in German by Walter Hasenclever and Frank Reicher. It was directed by Jacques Feyder. This version was shot simultaneously with the English-language version. It used the same cinematographer, sets and costumes, but a different crew. Garbo was the only actor in both versions and noticeably differs in her appearance in the two versions. According to the 2005 DVD release of the film -- which included both the English and German versions -- Garbo much preferred the German version.
