The German version of this early work by Eugene O'Neill is just as good, if not better, than the US version. I prefer Marie Dressler in the American version, but Garbo seems a bit more at ease in German than in English. She is hot and interesting in both languages. Her performance is believable and her co-actors also do a very good job. I preferred Bickford in the American version, but that is just my personal taste. The American version is, at times, a bit talky, but the German version seems to flow a bit more naturally. So, these differences tend to balance each other and the end results are about the same.
