Garbo plays a former prostitute in the film adaption of the O'Neill play. I disagree with the reviews I've read. Unlike them, I loved the story/script (play), the supporting players, especially Dressler, and the static/primitive camerawork didn't bother me. Yeah, its a filmed play - so what. My problem was Garbo. Yes, what a face! But that deep, flat, emotionless voice. Ugh. Not to mention the thick Swedish accent. I needed someone who could bring the lines to life. She seemed like a zombie. To her credit, Garbo seemed more animated in the German version. Rating **1/2
