Queen Christina
Capsule by Jonathan Rosenbaum
From the Chicago Reader

Not only one of Greta Garbo's finest performances, but one of her very best films (1933)--a fictional story in which the 17th-century Swedish queen gives up her throne for a Spanish ambassador (John Gilbert). The underrated Rouben Mamoulian directed, and Salka Viertel and S.N. Behrman both worked on the script. Erotic, romantic, and a feast for the eyes. 100 min.
