Description
"Garbo speaks!" the ads proclaimed when silent film star Greta Garbo debuted in a sound film. Nine years and twelve classic film dramas later, the talented film legend was ready for a new change. "Garbo laughs!" promised the advertisement for her first comedy, a sparkling tale of a strict Russian commissioner who traded her femininity for Soviet brotherhood – until she fell in love with an elegant Parisian socialite (Melvyn Douglas). Ernst Lubitsch, who worked with a sophisticatedly biting script co-written by Billy Wilder, knew better than anyone how to combine refinement with great wit. "Even the most dignified human being is ridiculous at least twice a day," he explained his famous "Lubitsch Touch." And that’s exactly how we perceive the lovestruck Ninotchka of Greta Garbo: calmly dignified yet adorably ridiculous. You will see her the same way.
