gilbertdaroy6080: The powers that be in Hollywood didn't think she would be able to transition to Talkies from Silent film because of her accent. She proved them wrong.
Marie broke me up saying "Oh, no I was thinking of something else." I think GG was tickled too. And what about Garbo's line: "They sure are fussy in this dump." " Give me a whiskey, ginger ale on the side and don't be stingy baby." LOVE IT.
Aint they fussy in these dump..I think she was going to say these dumps, then shortened it to dump..Anyway it was funny, made me laugh, and Larry's line "shall I serve it in a pale" was great..Just a great scene
Most people don’t know that the line “I ain’t MAD atcha” was said by Marie Dressler, in the 1930 film “Min and Bill.” Please watch, then re-watch “The MGM Story” documentary!

People of that time should be surprised when they listen Greta Garbo talking for the first time "Gimme a whisky, ginger ale on the side, and don't be stingy, baby!"
@@MidnightTales Yes, you're correct, Salka starred in the German version w/Garbo. Many critics felt that it was the better, more realistic treatment of the script compared to the English version.
I love Marie Dressler. She played a society matron just as effectively in "Dinner at Eight" with Jean Harlow.
She was only 25 here: what a fascinating woman she was!
She was an "old soul". Ahead of her time, beyond her years
She tried her best but that SWEDISH ACCENT is just too much.

The audience didn't mind

No wonder Garbo was called "The Divine." Even today, she is peerless.
“And don’t be stingy, baby!”

Hey, what are you laughing at? Me?
Story has it than Marilyn played this part in acting class better than anyone saw it before ✨ she was sooo amazing ✨🧡
Marie Dressler is doing some outrageously good acting between sitting down and drinking, my god.
The Shirley Booth of her time: could make magic out of plain life
I agree but she's a veteran waay up in the stratosphere. I mean she made Garbo look like a a talented schoolgìrl but school girl nonetheless.
She’s a big part of why this is so rewatchable for me, her humor and pathos
Two years and no dislikes. People have good taste.
Nah. People are like birds. They are bird brained. They follow the flock.
Dislikes are no longer public
The first words Greta Garbo ever spoke on screen. I wonder how many people were surprised by her accent.
She had actually gotten so good at speaking English at the time that they had to do several retakes and have her ham it up for the cameras.
@@ArtistsCry13 Where did you hear THAT one?
@@retroguy9494 Peter Hay’s 1991 book MGM: When the Lion Roars for instance. But it was widely reported back then.
@@martin3203 Thanks. I'll have to check it out. I never heard her English became so well she basically lost her heavy accent.

She's incredible!
Garbo said: SKÅL! (Cheers in Swedish)

@Jalen Conor instablaster ;)
Funny how long it takes Marie Dressler to walk the few feet between her table and Garbo's.
She first powder her nose...
I was thinking that! Thanks for the name. I was going to look her up.
...she said: skoal!!! cheers
GRETA GARBO IS A GODNESS ..I HAVE ALGUM PUDOR DE FALAR DELA POIS DIMINUI O MEU AMOR POR GRETA GARBO....

I don't know why but I love this scene.
The divine Greta Garbo. Loved her. IMO she was the most beautiful actress of her time.
I like Greta's voice, it's good
Me too!
She spoke good English, but her accent was a bit strong
@@lisamcdonald1014 Yes. I like it actually. Geeme a veeskie. Geneger ale on de side!" LOL
And don’t be stingy, baby
@@retroguy9494she didn’t say veeskie lol she actually said it normal
Garbo is very good here.
Remastered, please, both.
Marie Dressler is the queen.
What she’s doing with her fingers at 1:19 looks like she’s scrolling on an iPhone!
Well, she's talking about a dirty coach, and at the same time saw a dirty stain on the table which she scraped off with her fingernails.
Is the German version available ?
It has been uploaded now by MovieHeritage
salka viertel is the other woman and they were lifelong friends
NO, IT IS NOT. It is Canadian born actress, Marie Dressler. She won the Best Actress Award the next year.
@@Themanwhocameback2 thanx for the correction, i was fooled by a slight resemblance and actually her accent is not all european
@@osip7315 Salka Viertel appears in the german version of Anna Christie
@@MidnightTales Yes, you're correct, Salka starred in the German version w/Garbo. Many critics felt that it was the better, more realistic treatment of the script compared to the English version.
I love all this history and the friendly replies.
