Consensus: With Greta Garbo proving her comedy chops in the twilight of her career, Ninotchka is a can't-miss classic.
Synopsis: Ninotchka is a stern, straightlaced Communist Party member sent to Paris to finish the sale of Grand Duchess Swana's jewels for the Soviet government. But, while studying the frivolous materialism... [More]
Starring: Greta Garbo, Melvyn Douglas, Bela Lugosi, Ina Claire
Director: Ernst Lubitsch
This was Garbo's first comedy and second last film. And it's a unique role for her, first because she starts off as a dour, cold comrade with no sense of humour, and second because she laughs herself into a love of capitalist vices.
Top CriticThe masterpiece among Lubitsch's later films.
It is a film that blends pratfalls and a sophisticated comedy of manners.
Selection of Ernst Lubitsch to pilot Garbo in her first light performance in pictures proves a bull's-eye.
Top CriticThe satire may be mostly a matter of easy contrasts, but the lovers inhabit a world of elegance and poise that is uniquely and movingly Lubitsch's.
It's Garbo's next-to-last film and first American comedy.
MGM announced to the world: Garbo Laughs! In a major departure from her screen image, Garbo brings incredibly sensual abandon to her role of a glum, scientifically trained Bolshevik envoy who succumbs to Parisian decadence of romance and champagne.
Garbo laughs ... and the rest of us revel in a comedy delight.
It's still consistently amusing, and Garbo throws herself into the fray with engaging vigour.
...thanks to Garbo, its supporting cast, and director Ernst Lubitsch's magic touch, it remains one of Hollywood's most sparkling products.

Garbo does laugh! Delightful political musings.
One of the sprightliest comedies of the year.
Top CriticNo review available.
Its legend isn't really justified, but it's good
one of Garbo's greatest hits, still a treat to watch
While Ninotchka may lack something for the masses, it must be catalogued as a triumph for all concerned.
Enchanting.
The film bubbles merrily throughout.
entertaining and worth seeing for Garbo, one of the first magnetic screen presences
