Arwen reviews the film “Anna Christie” from 1930. And the films from 1930 and 1923. You’ll have to watch to find out how that works, but the aforementioned is a true statement.
How did they go from the Silent films to Talkies? Why was this the highest grossing movie of 1930? Was this Garbo’s first film? What about all the accents? Did this movie affect social change or does it give us a window into a bygone era?
