Anna Karenina Overview:
Anna Karenina (1935) was a Drama - Romance Film directed by Clarence Brown and produced by David O. Selznick.
SYNOPSIS
Could there be a better interpreter of Leo Tolstoy's ill-fated heroine - one of the most-remade film stories - than Garbo? The pains of doomed love seemed oddly suited to that stoney Nordic visage. March and Rathbone are also fine, and Garbo had plenty of preparation for the role, having starred in the silent version (Love) with John Gilbert.
