There are few films with a script as witty and literate as "Ninotchka". There's beauty in every line. This is when people really talked in films instead of getting in car chases or climbing over buildings.
Garbo could have evolved into a real comic actress if she had given herself the chance. Not unlike Katharine Hepburn she shows a comic flare that is equal to her dramatic flare. But she "vanted to be alone".
In "Camille" she spent the entire film dying. In "Ninotchka" she spends the entire film coming to life. And it's a joy to watch.
