Set during the reign of Nicholas I, the film tells the story of Anna Karenina (played by Garbo), the frustrated and ignored wife of a straitlaced diplomat (played by Basil Rathbone). When a dashing nobleman, Vronsky (played by Fredric March), engages in an obsessive quest for her affection, Anna capitulates. Their affair unfolds in the rigid social atmosphere of titled 19th-century Russia, and, when Anna gives up her husband and son to be with her lover, she finds that there can be disastrous consequences for flouting societal mores. Based on the novel ‘Anna Karenina’ by Leo Tolstoy. Supplemental features include: theatrical trailer.
