Queen Christina 1933


 Starring: Greta Garbo

The Queen of 17th-century Sweden, distressed at the thought of a political marriage, goes wandering through her country in men's clothes and falls in love with the new Spanish ambassador.

Garbo is brilliant, at times regal, at times far from it. Her masquerade in men's clothing is the most unconvincing thing I've ever seem, yet this has a real charm and you utterly believe her.   7/10
