Garbo as Queen Christina

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

The first of five films starring the great actress.
Tonight with John Gilbert
Arguably Garbo's most celebrated role as the 17th-century Swedish monarch Queen Christina who - dressed in man's clothes - finds herself sharing a room in a remote village inn with a handsome Spanish nobleman.
This passionate drama teamed Garbo with her leading man of the silent era, in a role that gave him a chance to excel again as a romantic hero.
Screenplay by H. M. HARWOOD and SALKA VIERTEL based on a story by SALKA VIERTEL and MARGARET F. LEVIN
Produced by WALTER WANGER
Directed by ROUBEN MAMOULIAN
('Ninotchka' tomorrow at 1 55pm)
