Review of Ninotchka (1939) by Richard D — 13 Nov 2015
The political satire isn't quite as sharp as in "To Be and Not to Be" and Garbo isn't as good as in "Camille" (the thick Russian accent and monotone voice she has to adopt for most of the film makes her slightly less effective than she could be), but generally speaking, this romantic comedy from Lubitsch is a delight.
If Garbo isn't at her absolute peak, Melvyn Douglas surely is and he steals the movie. Bela Lugosi fans should note he has a very small role.
