	Ninotchka Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		The film was Ernst Lubitchs' Ninotchka, a typical clash-of-cultures farce that stood apart because of excellent dialogue and setups that gave the star a chance to show her comedy chops, and spoof her onscreen image at the same time.
		Ninotchka is a formula picture, designed to fit the pattern established by director Frank Capra, who dominated the film industry in the 1930s with a string of popular pictures, and Best Picture Oscars, for It Happened One Night (1934) and You Can't Take It with You (1938).
		But Ninotchka was a one-time thing for Garbo, a chance to propel herself out of a career rut, a decade of mediocre films built around her icy beauty and somber delivery, such as the star-studded Grand Hotel (the Airport '77 of its day), and cholera-epidemic film Painted Veil.

		She plays Nina Ivanovna Yakushova, or "Ninotchka" for short, a Soviet envoy who is sent to Paris to replace the previous envoy - three capitalist-hungry bumblers (Sig Ruman, Felix Bressart, Alexander Granach) - to secure a good bid for some royal jewels that belonged to a former Russian noblewoman, Grand Duchess Swana (Ina Claire).
		Ninotchka is in love with Leon too, but once her work is finished she must return to Moscow, where Leon cannot follow.
		Ninotchka is also memorable for its stark contrasts between political systems, people, and locales.

		NINOTCHKA, after all, is about the triumph of love over politics, and to those who feel faint from the prevailing toilet-ethic of the Farrelly Brothers' blood-poisoning of modern comedy, represents a much-needed antidote.
		In a quintessential "Lubitsch touch" that may or may not be in the screenplay, Leon stands a drunk Ninotchka against a hotel suite wall with a blindfold, walks away, walks back and lifts up the blindfold to kiss her, puts it back over her face, then opens a champagne bottle to sound like rifle fire.
		NINOTCHKA is glorious entertainment, from darkest tragedy to most hilarious comedy, under a master director and with a fabulous script.

		Ninotchka has been poorly for about a week, unable to come on her beloved walks, not wanting to eat, so we went to her longtime vet far away where we used to live.
		I brought her a cooler full of snow from home and spread the snow all around her as she lay in a kennel at the vet's.

		Ninotchka connects the careers of 1930s directing great Ernst Lubitsch and future directing great Billy Wilder, who was among a quartet of writers who did credited work on this film.
		So says the Parisian waiter to the stern Ninotchka (Greta Garbo) as she orders a plate of---well I guess it could pass for nouvelle cuisine in California today.
		Leon's courtship of Ninotchka is persuasive, even if he is a dirty middle-aged man. The robotic Greta Garbo gets the choicest lines (Must you flirt...suppress it).

		The plot of Ninotchka is a sturdy enough clothesline: Three Soviet emissaries arrive in Paris with a mission to pawnsky some ill-gotten Romanov boodle, on behalf of the Kremlin.
		Ninotchka is a farce, not an exploration of the verities of Bolshevik praxis.
		The film’s importance comes from the fact that it finally introduced Billy Wilder to the mass audience, and it came along at a time when the audience was ready to see some holes poked in the traditional political stereotypes that had settled into place in the 1930s.

		Ninotchka (1939) was the long-awaited, classic romantic comedy, with a clever and witty script and the magnificent presence of actress Greta Garbo in her first official American comedy (in her next-to-last film).
		The charming, sparkling screenplay that satirizes the Communist political system with sexual humor was written by Billy Wilder (before he became a director), Charles Brackett and Walter Reisch, based on a screen story by Melchior Lengyel.
		Other spin-offs of the Ninotchka theme include MGM's Comrade X (1940) with Clark Gable and Hedy Lamarr (in the Soviet Union), and The Iron Petticoat (1956) with Katharine Hepburn and Bob Hope (in London).

		When Leon turns his charm on Ninotchka, she regards him coldly, informing him that love is merely a "chemical reaction." Even his kisses fail to weaken her resolve.
		Leon finally wins her over by taking an accidental fall in a fancy restaurant, whereupon Ninotchka laughs for the first time in her life.
		As a bonus to the frothy script, by Billy Wilder and others, and its surefire star power, Ninotchka features what is perhaps Bela Lugosi's most likeable and relaxed performance.

		When Ninotchka and her comrades go back to Russia they find that they miss the pleasures that Paris had to offer them.
		Garbo, too, was in a vastly different role than we had ever seen her before.
		She's very funny in Ninotchka, but she was also capable of portraying great passion, and it's a shame to see her draw it in here.

		And so, super efficient Comrade Ninotchka (Garbo) appears to retrieve jewelry in the possession of the former Grand Duchess Swana (Claire).
		He plays the gushy romantic dialogue early on with the perfect combination of conviction and playfulness, and one of the film's beauties is watching Garbo shift gears into this mode herself.
		The lovely scene in a cafe where Douglas cracks Ninotchka up only when he falls off his chair remains a highlight of both film comedy and screen romance.
