Plot : Old sailor Chris Christofferson eagerly awaits the arrival of his grown daughter Anna, whom he sent at five years old to live with relatives in Minnesota. He has not seen her since, but believes her to be a decent and respectably employed young woman. When Anna arrives, however, it is clear that she has lived a hard life in the dregs of society, and that much of spirit has been extinguished. She falls in love with a young sailor rescued at sea by her father, but dreads to reveal to him the truth of her past. Both father and young man are deluded about her background, yet Anna cannot quite bring herself to allow them to remain deluded.

Reviews

Charles Bickford ("Mat"), is almost unrecognisable at the beefcake sailor who does his best "Popeye" impersonation opposite the slight "Olive Oyl" looking title character (Greta Garbo) in this simple love story with a bit of a sad backstory. She is the daughter of "Chris Christopherson" (George Marion) who travels to visit her long absent father from her farm in St. Paul. When they are reunited, he takes her to live on his coal barge where one evening they rescue three stricken sailors from a liner that hit something in the pea soup fog. The aforementioned Mr. Bickford takes a shine to her and she to him - but the father, a bit of an alcoholic, promptly concludes that "Mat" is a chip off the old block, and - King Canute style - tries to prevent their love from blossoming. It is only when she refuses to marry him, we learn of the tragedy from her past that haunts her still... but will he be deterred?. A brief scene with Marie Dressler ("Martha") is about all else there is in this tightly woven drama - which shows Garbo has some skill in the talkies to match her established skills on the silent screen, and the maritime environment contributes loads to the eeriness and effectiveness of the performances. As usual, with an Eugene O'Neill story, there is plenty of depth to the characters should you wish to read more into it - for me, though, it was an simply an entertaining romance with three engaging characters that worked well together on the screen.
