Ninotchka (1939)

Second viewing. First was between 1983 and 1986.

Three Soviet officials are in Paris to sell some jewels, but the deal goes wrong because the Russian owner, now an exile, claims them. Another Soviet official is sent abroad to straighten things out.

Intelligent mix of political satire and romantic comedy. A film in which everything seems to work well, unlike this blog's interface at this moment, which is not responding properly to mouseclicks and thus forces me to cut this review short (not that I have much more to say).

Rating: 74 (up from 70)
