"Garbo Laughs."

That was the entire marketing campaign for Ninotchka (1939) — and it worked.

This week Riley and Mark review Ernst Lubitsch's classic comedy starring Greta Garbo as a Soviet envoy who travels to Paris and slowly, reluctantly, loses her ideological armor. They dig into Garbo's performance, whether Melvyn Douglas earns his place as the romantic lead, the film's surprisingly sharp political satire, and what it means that Hollywood was poking fun at both capitalism and communism in 1939.

Mark brings his theater lens to one of classic Hollywood's most iconic stars, and Riley makes the case for why Leon might be harder to root for than the film wants you to think.
