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...
