Details QUEEN CHRISTINA (Rouben Mamoulian, 1933, 35mm, 99 mins)
New print! All hail Greta Garbo, who rules the screen in this pre-Code classic that’s as fluid with gender as it is with historical fidelity. A 17th-century Swedish queen in king’s clothing weighs duty to her beloved country against passion for a life in Spain with a dashing diplomat, played by John Gilbert. ​“One of Garbo’s most poignant, touching, and enjoyable films, showing the Divine in all her glory” (Emanuel Levy). 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive.

The ​“Treasures from the Yale Film Archive” series is presented with support from Paul L. Joskow ​’70 M.Phil., ​’72 Ph.D.
