Ninotchka (1939)


 Ninotchka (1939)


A stern Soviet woman sent to Paris to supervise the sale of jewels seized from Russian nobles finds herself attracted to a man who represents everything she is supposed to detest.

The tagline "Garbo laughs!" came before the screenplay was written; the film was built around that single, now legendary, catch-phrase. This was itself a reference to another legendary advertising slogan about Greta Garbo. A famous leading lady of the silent film era, she made her first talking picture, Anna Christie (1930). That film was advertised, to great success, with the line "Garbo Talks!" When she made this comedy the "Garbo Laughs!" tagline resonated with her fans.
