Elegant direction by Ernst Lubitsch, Greta Garbo’s comedic performance as a stern communist in love, and Billy Wilder’s biting satirical script combine for an unforgettable classic
“Garbo Laughs!” screamed the ads, and so will you, as a stuffy Russian commissar (Greta Garbo) matches wits with bon vivant Melvyn Douglas while on assignment in Paris. The poor woman never has a chance. Featuring a biting satirical screenplay from Billy Wilder, this classic political comedy is made with all of the elegance and detail you’d expect from Ernst Lubitsch. D: Ernst Lubitsch, US, 1939, 1h 50m
