Review of Ninotchka

Ninotchka (1939)
8/10
Curtains Come Tumbling Down...
18 January 2023
Three comrades seek to sell expensive jewels, they'd been taken by the state, when it changed rules, now they're peddlers in Paris, pestered by a wealthy heiress, who's determined to get back, family heirloom. Ninotchka's sent to sort out all the mess, a stern and rigid woman in grey dress, but her fascia slowly falls, with the crumbling of her walls, as Leon opens doors, and gains access.

An absolutely delightful 1930s movie, sees Greta Garbo playing the hardnosed Ninotchka sent to resolve the mess created by three comical communist comrades, all brilliantly performed, while falling for the charms of Count Leon, a Paris playboy and a bit of a chancer.
