Product Description
To escape the burdens of rule, Swedens' 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 "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 fiancee 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 people will not accept her marriage to a foreigner. Torn between her duty and her heart, she must make a fateful decision.
