English Summary:
Anna Karenina is a 1935 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film adaptation of the 1877 novel Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy and directed by Clarence Brown. The film stars Greta Garbo, Fredric March, Basil Rathbone and Maureen O'Sullivan. There are several other film adaptations of the novel.
In New York, the film opened at the Capitol Theatre, the site of many prestigious MGM premieres. The film earned $2,304,000 at the box office, and won the Mussolini Cup for best foreign film at the Venice Film Festival. Greta Garbo received a New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress for her role as Anna. In addition, the film was ranked #42 on the American Film Institute's list of AFI's 100 Years...100 Passions.
Anna Karenina (Greta Garbo) is the wife of Czarist official Karenin (Basil Rathbone). While she tries to persuade her brother Stiva (Reginald Owen) from a life of debauchery, she becomes infatuated with dashing military officer Count Vronsky (Fredric March). This indiscreet liaison ruins her marriage and position in 19th century Russian society; she is even prohibited from seeing her own son Sergei (Freddie Bartholomew), with eventual dire results.
Hungarian Summary:
A szentpétervári társaság egyik hölgytagja, Anna Karenina Moszkvában megismeri és megszereti Vronszkij grófot. Vronszkij követi őt Szentpétervárra. Fia, Szergej miatt Anna igyekszik házasságát továbbra is fenntartani, de férje, Karenin két választás elé állítja: vagy megszakítja a kapcsolatot Vronszkijjal, vagy elköltözik. Anna eleinte marad, aztán mégis Vronszkij mellé áll, de ez a kapcsolata sem boldog. Amikor Vronszkij háborúba megy, Anna Karenina a vonat elé veti magát.
