Why Didn’t Garbo Make More Comedies?
I see that Billy Wilder collaborated on this. Was it a studio decision that Garbo wasn’t cast as a comedienne? From the evidence in this film, she should have been. Her timing is excellent, her delivery very special. This is a gem I’d never seen that deserves its National Registry status. In 1939 the Soviet Union had sympathizers in the US, and during the coming World War it was an ally. This gentle spoof of Soviet seriousness and self-conscious worker ethics foreshadows the arguments that were later trotted out after the War to begin the Cold War, but here the humor and satire are soft, more Noel Coward than propaganda.

My lament is not seeing more comedy from Garbo. She made such serious and tragic films, when she could have been making us laugh. The film is dated, yes, but Garbo herself shines through along with her three Russian accomplices. I think that Billy Wilder and Garbo would have been a great team

Greta Garbo as Secret “Cold War” Weapon
Ninotchka has been making a hit with audiences since she hit the screen in 1939. A fascinating, yet little known, “second life” of the film was played out during the Italian Elections of 1947-48. The U.S. was most anxious that the Communists not be elected and pulled out all the stops to prevent it. One was to approach MGM and request prints of Ninotchka – to be shown widely to working class audiences in Italy. Since no 16mm prints of the film yet existed, MGM Labs did “print downs” from the original nitrate negative. The resulting prints are astonishingly beautiful (I have one) and they estimate five million Italians viewed it and other propaganda films each week before the elections – in spite of the efforts of the Communists to prevent its showing. One pro-Communist worker said afterward “What licked us was Ninotchka!” (See “Killing Hope” by William Blum). To paraphrase Carl Denham in King Kong, once again “Beauty Killed The Beast!”
