Hapsnap film adaptation of Tolstoy's acclaimed book, which seriously detracts from this literary classic due to a lack of depth. I'm usually a fan of 1930s and 1940s movies, but of the four movie versions of this story I've seen so far, this is by far the least. I've seen a little more than a handful of Garbo's films over the years, but I've yet to discover what made her famous.

Solid film adaptation of one half of a classic, the romantic half, and that's not bad at all : Garbo was never more beautiful (the smoke at the station!) and never bore her suffering with more dignity, and the social pressure and public disapproval are nicely made to feel. Fredric March's virtuous face almost makes us forget that he is ruining a marriage and destroying a life, but unfortunately he projects too little passion to justify the latter (which may also have been Garbo's fault, as director Clarence Brown said that , when she saw that March "showed signs of wanting to get romantic, before each love scene Garbo put a small piece of garlic in her mouth."). Even Hollywood's favorite cad Basil Rathbone gets something sympathetic, while Hollywood's favorite son Freddie Bartholomew is almost unbearably soggy. A nice start with that beautiful "rider" of the table for the officers filled with countless dishes, a nice role by Reginald Owen as the cheerful Yashvin whose only quality seems to be superficiality but who does not deny his friend Vronsky in the end, and I'm glad Tolstoy's ending isn't "diluted" like in Love (1927), Garbo's earlier film adaptation of this novel where the distributor was provided with an alternative happy ending in case the audience requested it. ..
Levin's half now.

Based on Tolstoy's book of the same name, which has been filmed several times. Even Garbo played Anna Karenina in the movie Love (1927) before. And even though the actress makes up for a lot, the rest of the film rather pales in comparison to Joe Wright's much more colorful 2012 version. The whole book is reduced to the love story and a lot gets lost. Though this isn't bad either. The opening with the decadent party is wonderful to see. And Garbo is well cast in the title role.
