Synopsis

Promoted as the first film in which its legendary star Greta Garbo laughs, Ninotchka represented shrewd casting - coming near the end of a career built around Garbo's image as an unsmiling enigma. Here, she plays a representative of the communist Soviet government sent to Paris to bring back three fellow Russians who might be thinking about staying put in the capitalist West - but soon, she too begins to find life in Paris pretty appealing...

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."
