| Queen Christina | comment |
Queen Christina is a 1933 Pre-Code Hollywood film starring Greta Garbo as the eponymous queen of Sweden who ruled during the 17th century. Christina was very much a proto-feminist figure in many ways; not only was she an authoritative ruler, but she also dressed in men's clothes and had a generally androgynous manner. The movie plays into Garbo's ability to exploit those qualities while wrapping the whole thing in a conventional love story between Christina and her Spanish envoy (John Gilbert), where she must ultimately make the choice between duty and love.Garbo and John Gilbert had been lovers for a while in The Roaring '20s, and had been co-stars in hit films like Flesh and the Devil back when Gilbert was the biggest romantic leading man in Hollywood. Unfortunately for Gilbert, his career went down the crapper when talkies came in. Garbo insisted on Gilbert as her leading man in this film in an effort to revive Gilbert's career. It didn't work, and Gilbert made only one more movie, The Captain Hates the Sea, before drinking himself to death in 1936. | |

Sexy Scandinavian: The very Swedish Greta Garbo playing the Swedish queen Christina, set in a romanticized past all play in on the stereotype. | |

Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Everyone but Garbo. And of course, since Garbo actually was Swedish, she didn't have to worry about an accent anyway. | |

Shaming the Mob | |
| Queen Christina / int_941896b | comment |
Shaming the Mob: Christina lets the mob into her palace and does this to them, basically saying that she doesn't tell them how to do their jobs so they shouldn't tell her how to do hers. | |

| Queen Christina / int_944a85ea | comment |
Raised as the Opposite Gender: King Gustavus Adolphus, lacking a male heir, raises Christina to act like a boy. She dresses in men's clothing, generally acts masculine and assertive, and is addressed as "king". | |

Ambiguously Bi | |
| Queen Christina / int_bd0230fb | comment |
Ambiguously Bi: Christina, before Antonio arrives. This is most obvious in the scene where her pretty and conventionally feminine lady-in-waiting, Countess Edda, arrives and complains that the queen hasn't been paying attention to her. Christina takes hold of Edda's face with both hands, kisses Edda square on the mouth, and promises that they'll go away for a weekend in the country together. | |
