Want to view a great romantic comedy? Greta Garbo and Melvin Douglas's Ninotchka (1939) is the ticket. Made in the year of some of the greatest films in history (W of Oz, Mr Smith Goes.., GWTW) this film is every bit as good and entertaining. Garbo shows that she can laugh and is not so stuffy and Melvin Douglas is always a favorite (some didn't like his choice for the movie). The Soviet Union banned this film at the time of its release. The lead character was based on the first female ambassador of the former Soviet Union.
