What happens

Anna Christie is a 1923 American silent film drama based on the 1921 play by Eugene O'Neill. It stars Blanche Sweet and William Russell. Directed by John Griffith Wray and produced by Thomas H. Ince for First National Pictures, the screenplay was adapted by Bradley King from the Eugene O'Neill play of the same title. Thomas H. Ince Inc. paid a then-astronomical $35,000 for the screen rights to the play. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
