Biography
In "Anna Karenina" (1935) the train pulls into the Moscow train
station, a cloud of steam envelopes the exit of a first class car
and then a woman emerges from the cloud. The figure is
aristocratic, the face is a vision. But it's the eyes that enthrall
the viewer and Vronsky who has expected his mother to be the first
woman off the train. 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". Crowther did not
include this film in his short list of Garbo's major artistic
achievements. His list: "Anna Christie" (1930) where Garbo "made
the role of the cynical dockside ex- prostitute a thing of poetic
beauty;" "Camille" (1936) where she played the Paris courtesan who
had inspired novels, concertos and an opera with "alabaster
loveliness;" "Ninotchka" (1939) where Garbo "demonstrated that she
had the wit and flexibility to be a fine comedienne;" "Grand Hotel"
(1932) where Garbo, then only 26, played a fading ballerina; and
"Queen Christina" (1933) where Crowther was impressed by how she
"deftly romped in masculine costumes". All of Garbo's films were in
black and white and black and white enhanced her mystery and
romantic allure. In real life, Garbo knew when to make her exit
from Hollywood and the public eye. Her sense of timing, when to
make her entrance and her exit -- perhaps she learned something
from Tolstoy whose "Anna Karenina" must have been based on a woman
just as real as Maureen O'Sullivan's Kitty in that film whom a man
like Tolstoy won when Kitty lost Vronsky to a woman who could
reveal so much through her eyes.
