Each volume in the "BFI Film Classics" series features a brief production history, detailed filmography, notes and bibliography. This text explores MGM's 1933 production of "Queen Christina", starring Greta Garbo, from a feminist perspective. The authors explore the role of Christina, who, fleeing an arranged marriage, is forced to disguise herself as a man. They read the film partly from a lesbian perspective, as well as looking at other ways in which gender and power impose contradictory pressures.
