Ninotchka - 1939 ***



I'm going to be most unpopular when I say this but I actually don't think Greta Garbo is that much of an actress.

She's beautiful and elegant yes, and dry-witted with a quick sense of humour, but as regards to her acting I'm sure there are more talented female stars of this era. (Eeek what a can of worms I've opened now!)

The story is reasonably funny but to be honest I'm surprised that this movie made it to the top 1001 movies to see before you die list. However was good to see Melvyn Douglas in a slightly humourous role.
