Garbo is great in her role as a stolid socialist. She plays the role to perfection in finding nothing good with capitalism and all that it represents. The movie must have gave people some insight into what was going on with the Soviets at that time. She eventually begins to soften a little with some work by her co-star Melvyn Douglas who happens to be falling in love with her. The story is somewhat basic but does have quite a bit of humor that brought on more than a few chuckles. Eventually Ninotchka eyes begin to open and she sees that she's been wrong in thinking that socialism is the way of the future. This is one of the last films that Garbo ever made, she made one more. Another great movie from Hollywoods Golden Age...GimmeClassics
