Starring the 4 time Oscar nominated Greta Garbo. An actress known for her serious roles in films such as Anna Karenina, Camille, and Grand Hotel. This is her comedy making fun of the Russians.The plot is that 3 Russians go to France trying to sell some jewels because the country is in need of money. When the exiled duchess finds out her jewels are in Paris she files legal action against the Russian state for selling, what she believes is her property. The Russians bring in a specialist, Garbo, a stern Russian woman who only thinks about her country and not herself. She runs into Melvyn Douglas the attorney on the jewel case she will be up against. In the romantic comedy scenario they do not know who each other are and fall in love.
It is kind of a fun story. The jokes are dated though and it really doesn't offer anything more than what you would get from any other modern romantic comedy. I can't see suggesting such a old film with such a simple plot. Ok for the AFI 100 Laughs, but not one I'd recommend.
Vote: 6/10
