This series of blog posts about Greta Garbo in the 1933 film "Queen Christina" got stretched from a two-parter to a three-parter as I wanted a post just to share a few visuals. "Queen Christina" is one of my favorite movies in the world to just look at. Next week, I'll go back to looking at the film in depth again.
I gathered these images here and there, but some of the ones I'm using both this week and next week are from the website pre-code.com. I found the image of Garbo sitting Edith-Ann-like on the giant throne on a site called The Silver Petticoat Review. And the one of Garbo standing on the table is from a site run by the Toronto Film Society. And I've also got some publicity stills here that weren't in the film proper.
I'll begin the image thread with a film still I captured at the moment in which Garbo's lover, played by John Gilbert, says he wants the two of them to see the world together.
Next week: Looking into why Christina's character is presented with the kind of gender and sexuality we see
