Dominican Rep. Queen Christina
2,767
Drama. Romance
Young Christina ascends to the Swedish throne at age 5. While she is queen, Sweden becomes a dominant European power at the end of the Thirty Years War. Like England's Elizabeth I, Christina (Greta Garbo) is pressured into a politically correct marriage (her cousin) but she falls in love with an emissary from Spain (John Gilbert). As with her English counterpart, religion becomes a focal point with Protestant Sweden aghast that their queen could marry a Catholic. [+]

"The sheer presence of Garbo in this startlingly profound performance it completely and utterly mesmerizing, and an experience that can't really be done justice on the small screen." | POS |
United States |
|
"A skillful blend of history and fiction in which the Nordic star, looking as alluring as ever, gives a performance which merits nothing but the highest praise" | POS |
|
United Kingdom |
|
"Not a pacey film, but, overall, almost as beautiful as Garbo herself" | POS |

"Chief fault with Christina is its lethargy. It is slow and ofttimes stilted." | NEU |
