[Garbo] turns her character into a living entity, extracts real emotion from the script's purple clumps, and glides through Mamoulian's winding camera movements with grace, wit and beauty. Full Review

...This is Garbo's best film....The final shot, still a killer, is an emotional near-equal of Chaplin's fadeout in CITY LIGHTS...

Rating: 4/5 -- Not a pacey film, but, overall, almost as beautiful as Garbo herself, who, in the end, makes the picture. Full Review

S. N. Behrinan wrote for the picture some of the finest dialogue that has yet come out of Hollywood, and Rouben Mamoulian gave it a brilliant direction. Full Review

It must be said that this film gives great pleasure to the eye. The usual Hollywood glitter is replaced by harmonies of light and shade exceptionally well handled. Full Review

Rating: A- -- Decades later, Queen Christina remains one of Garbo's most poignant, touching, and enjoyable films, showing the Divine in all her glory. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

To escape the burdens of rule, Sweden's Queen Christina rides into the countryside disguised as a boy. There she meets and secretly falls for a dashing Spanish envoy on his way to the royal court. Imagine the envoy's delighted surprise when he and the young "nobleman" must share a bed at an overcrowded inn.

Greta Garbo gives a luminous performance in this lavish costume drama, starring with her one-time off-screen fiance John Gilbert and directed by Rouben Mamoulian. "It had been so enchanting to be a woman, not a queen. Just a woman in a man's arms," Christina murmurs to her lover when her true identity is revealed. But she knows her people will not accept her marriage to a foreigner. Torn between her duty and her heart, she must make a fateful decision.

Product Description:

Queen Christina of Sweden shocked all of Europe by abdicating herself from the throne for her true love.
